22 MAY 06 REMEMBER WHEN

These were all the rage??? EVERYbody had to have an external or *gasp* an internal zip drive
And you were REALLY something if you had a 250 drive . . . .

Ahhhhhh . . . .the good old days of yore

What?

So 'yore' is only two, three years ago

Mine are better than yores (I still use them . . how 'antique' is that!)

THIS TIME LAST YEAR

Canon PowerShot S2 IS
1/6s f/2.7 at 6.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I still have a stack- I just transferred the contents several months ago.

Never touched a computer 'til 2002, so I missed the Zip-craze!

never used a zip. I just wasn't cool. I guess you wont want to hang out with me anymore.

Yeh, I do remember these! I even remember tape back ups. :) Hey, I'd rather have one of these than try to copy photos onto CDs which takes forever and then the CDs have a limited life span.

Strangely, this was one phase I missed completely, as gadget hooked as I am. I guess, it never took off in India, and by the time I came to the US, it was fading with the advent of DVD writers and memory cards. Maybe I'll shoot a similar one with floppy disks, if I can find any. :)

I think I still have 10-12 100mb discs laying around somewhere. I remember when my portable drive took a poop, I was so crushed and immediately ordered an internal to replace it.

You've just made me realize I need to transfer these quickly to DVD before my zip drive breaks.
