Do you want some old Jaz 20M disks? <smile>
Of course these days, the replacement technology is USB drives.
Cheaper that Zip disks with a lot more storage.
In 1999 I bought my 2nd PC and the first PC that I'd ever owned with a
CD-R Drive.
It was also my first PC with USB (albeit 1.1).
Being anxious to do *something* with the new USB technology (I was
still using my old printer which wsn't USB) I bought a 100MB Iomega
USB Zip drive and a box of 10 Zip disks.
I think I used 3 of the disks maybe 4-5 times. Most of them never
made it out of the shrink wrap. It was a complete waste of money.
OTOH, I burned scads of CDs. Nowadays it's CDs/DVDs for permanent
storage and external hard drives (2) and USB Flash drives (several)
for everything else (besides my internal HDDs of course).
Oh, I've still got the Zip drive and disks if anybody's interested.
;-)
On a related note, I wish ASUS would pull it's head out of it's butt
and offer it's MOBO/RAID drivers in formats that do NOT require the
use of a floppy drive for installation. This is the 21st century (and
it was in 2004 when I bought my latest computer as well), after all...
Oh and now Vista drivers would be nice too.....
But I digress....
