A ton of my undergrad stuff were on those things. There was simply nothing else that could hold the file sizes I needed back in 2000.

But 30 bucks for 100MB? Seems like a bad joke now especially how those things could easily stop being readable at the drop of a hat. And they did!

I paid $875.00 for my first 1 gig Conner hard drive. My first hard drive was a Sider 10 megabyte that I paid $400.00 for, used.
