I mean, I remember when a computer with a 100mb hard drive was <i>huge</i>, so I can still feel excited about having that on a disc, but when my outdated iPod can hold as much as 40 of those (and my computer 800) they might be a little dated. The thing is, they also weren't around long enough to breed much nostalgia. I'd love to have a dot-matrix printer again, but I can't even think of novel uses for a zip drive. Sean Et Cetera: Wow, I never even thought about color-blindness in relation to Bubble Bobble. PBJay: Yeah.

Also, Zip drives are the devil!

Also, Zip drives are the devil!

I did an obsolete electronics purge recently and got rid of an old zip drive, which was bought as a back-up system for my machine. It was still in its plastic and everything, but by the time I got around to thinking about setting it up it was already useless. You have to be just the right age to even remember them!
