I still have a couple of Iomega Zip disks in my pants drawer.They held a HUNDRED MEGABYTES, man. That was very nearly everything.

I think mine held 250MB.Never kept them in my pants, though.
Still have the drive and disks (hopefully without the porn), they might be useful, someday, if I ever want to backup part of a CD.

In factMine was even a parallel port connection. None of your modern USB.
Jumpers for goalposts. Isn't it? Wasn't it? Marvellous.

Yeah, 250!Of course, once the bundled disk ran out, it was back to 100s, as no one saw fit to stock the 250s, what with zip drives being massively unpopular.
EDIT: I built my drive out of elastic bands, blu-tak and paper clips, so nyer.
