> One of my friends even blew all his McJob money on an external Zip drive. Ah...I recall doing this too. Funny to remember so much of that money going to buy the best possible hardware for the least amount of money. Like I thought I won the lottery when I got a deep discount on an OEM AWE32 card that came loose in a cardboard box, literally bare and rubber-banded to a pile of floppy discs. Just so I could have low-latency midi and load soundfonts into the card. The zip drive was frustrating though. I got to college and had all my HS portfolio work on a zip disc but no drive anymore. So I bit the bullet and bought a drive, thinking it would be a while before that format was useless. Functionally I was right but for practical purposes I never used the drive much after copying my files over. Especially after hearing about the... Click of death issue I think it was called? Funny memories.
