I remember that being a big deal but I don't think I encountered that until about 1999 when I was working help desk for a small IT shop. I don't really have a good frame of reference, I picked up my Irwin Tape Backup ~1995 from a computer salvage store and I downloaded the software from a Bulletin Board.
> For a long time back then (6 years sounds about right) virtually everyone I knew in creative fields (advertising, music, visual art, etc) had a ZIP drive.
That was my experience too. I worked at Office Max for a time and most clients who brought work into the Copy Max copy center would do so on either Zip or Jazz. I remember them having a PC solely for PC formatted Zip Disks to transfer to a Mac.
