      I replaced my jazz drive when burners became more popular and cheaper. I could buy 100 cdrs for the price of a zip disk. I only had a zip drive to begin with so I could work on my high school projects in computer graphics class from home (ah, going back and forth between Windows and Mac in 1999… it sucked)

      Zip disks were originally launched with capacities of 100 MB, then 250 MB, and finally 750 MB.

      Congrats, you win! 🥳
