Where I was it went from 3.5" floppies to USB drives. (There were CDs, but not as easy for things like schoolwork.)

ZIP needed a whole ecosystem of drives, so did you have that?

    The sound of the “Click of Death” still haunts me.

    We had Jazz drives too, which just failed and caused you to lose a larger amount of data than a zip.

      Yeah it was like an accidental physical computer virus of sorts. Crazy how it was contagious.
