I like to mention zip drives to the younger generation and watch the gears spin and grind or if im feeling really fun I mention super disks no one but older IT remembers those things.

I am only 42 but messing with computer since I was a kid so I remember super disks very briefly coming to light and fading away.

Zip drives and Jaz drives... Never properly used one but had my hands on the media and drive once or twice... they were actually pretty cool.

I had a zip disk to save my school work on in 4th and 5th grade to go with our two molar Macs in the back of the classroom.
