Don't miss 'em. But Zip disks were cool.
Remember the CLICK OF DEATH?! 💀
Too late in the day for Derrida, but you started it "I speak only one language; it is not my own"
When was the last time you used an egg cups? Privately?
Probably during Reagan’s first term.
Zip my SCSI....
Zip's were the first removable media that expanded on what a removable disk could do. 1.44 MB vs 100 MB. That was just before CD burning became a thing.
loved my zip disk drive.
Put down your tech and wander outside. The world is still the same.

Did you know USB uses the SCSI protocol?
Yes, it’s just UASP all the way down.
Wait … so the old world still exists … down deep a few layers. It’s like archeology … but digital. 👀
Augh parallel ports!!
mkay well i still kinda use serial ports tho, LOL
Back then technology was agnostic, nobody made the next protocol or system worrying that someone would use it for evil, so people just made things that were useful or to entertain.
Now, it feels like every standard, technology, or innovation must come under moral scrutiny because someone bad might have it.
That's what these old computers mean to me, a time where technology just worked and didn't have to make a statement.
That’s also the world I’m nostalgic for.
Haha I remember when zip drives were cutting edge
They were so slick.
I’ve always wanted one. They were expensive for me.
