I have this weird fascination with LS-120 SuperDisk drives. I really wanted one back in the day but never had one. Always remember seeing it in the boot options in the BIOS.

@xorlou@lgbtqia.space I always wanted a ZIP drive, until I got one. Rather disappointing – since HDDs had become “incredibly large” with hundreds of GiB.

@xorlou@lgbtqia.space We remember drives like that being heavily pushed in computer magazines in the mid to late 90s, and even early 00s, especially before ADSL started to slowly replace dial-up for more folx. It was a surreal time. Tech was changing fast, and yet a lot of it still felt slow for a while. Part of that was us being younger (and our sense of time being different), but it also feels like a lot of tech has got fast enough for most folx now... ... which is great, as most won't be able to afford any upgrades for a good while 😅🙃
