When I was young, I was not allowed to install anything on the family PC whatsoever. I had a 100MB Zip disk and was told anything that I wanted to keep, I could keep on there. That disk got a big workout. Had Duke 3D and the Half-Life Uplink demo on there, plus about 30MB to spare! Great days man.

    Man I was jelly green over classmates that could afford zip drives. They'd bring it to school retiring computer class, whip it out, both showing off and fake-lamenting that oh they didn't know the school didn't have zip drives.

    Hah I was the same. Downloaded demos (happypuppy.com, gamesdomain.com), installed on a Jaz drive.

    Those iomega devices had a pretty awesome design.
