right around that time I remember, I was carrying 2GB HDD as a removable thumb drive - to exchange music/apps with friends. Exciting times, when I prepared a careful and curated directory of music and apps to share with my friends and connecting drive via HDD could be possible even online, while PC was running.

> Burning disks was a ceremony where you carefully shutdown anything running and defragged your HDD to ensure nothing would interrupt the burning process. "You think that's bad?" We had to literally watch the burn process. Walk away and it would fail. Took a while to realise it was the vibrations of the wooden floor that would kill the burn process if you didn't sneak away very carefully..

  > Walk away and it would fail. I haven't heard that one. Did you have one of those HP CD Writers with purple button and no buffer too?

    Can't remember the brand, but it certainly wasn't buffered. And probably (relatively) cheap.
