Wow. Zip Disk really takes me back.
A highlight of my childhood was sneaking a pirated copy of Doom 2 on a zip disk and secret installing it on a school computer. That game was like four 3.5" disks otherwise, not easy to conceal.

It really hammered home the importance of backups when someone completely hosed a database and I had to restore things.
