EDIT: Also...people actually used Zip Discs? I'm 22 and I barely remember those.

I did. Thought they were the bee's knees back then. (Never did encounter the "click of death," either; I was fortunate.) Also used a Jaz drive... 1GB cartridges, woo-hoo! Fortunately, I was able to recover all of my files from them before putting the discs, cartridges, and hardware into the "retired" box in the basement.

All of the files fit onto a single DVD-R... with room to spare. And I have flash drives that make their storage look sick by comparison. Technology marches on...
