Where I was it went from 3.5" floppies to USB drives. (There were CDs, but not as easy for things like schoolwork.)

ZIP needed a whole ecosystem of drives, so did you have that?

    Nope, because the actual drive wasn’t commonly supported. I went to Best Buy and spent $65 (in 1990’s money) on a 64MB thumb drive and thought that was mind-blowingly huge. I was like “well this will last me forever!”.
