Nah CDs were too expensive. It was Zip Disks or Floppies all the way
Floppies were where it was at for us
I never knew anyone with a zip disk
My family had a zip drive growing up. Then again, my dad is a doctor, so our income might have had something to do with it.
I've got a handful of zip disks, but no drive. I asked on the town bulletin board and nobody else seems to have one I can borrow. It was a short-lived intermediate format, so I'm not surprised.
