... Back then, anything that stored a few floppies worth was big. I was still using 100MB IOmega ZIP drive. Anyone remembers that? I still have it upstairs somewhere.
I got rid of my Zip drive in our move 2.5 years ago (donated it I think? or gave it away to someone still using them). One of the few things I was an early adopter of, I read positive reviews and bought one shortly after they came out. In a world of 1.44MB floppies, 100MB R/W was a life/time-saver - I could have a complete clone of my Mac on there, and boot from it in an emergency (which I had to do once - my hard drive got corrupted somehow, and I just used the Zip drive for a week or so, until I had time to work on the problem).
It's mind-boggling how cheap/available storage is - I've got more memory just siting around unused than I could ever dream of back in those days, even at 1,000's of time the price.
