I got lucky. My school had dumped the last punch machine when I started. They still had the equipment though. I did remember having to wait an hour for your job output though. A few typos could cost you a whole day.

Jaz drives were a joke. I hated them, they never worked properly. Good riddance.

I have an almost new zip drive in a white Epson case. (Collectors item!)(Worthless!) SCSI. Almost never used.

My dad has a whole stack of those blue Iomega zip disks if anyone is still using them.

As do I - I have both the smaller capacity disks as well as the larger ones... so if you need to expand your collection of zip drives- let porsche4life and me know...

And BTW, I learned to program on one of these:

Actually, my first exposure to computers were the TRS-80's and the TI-99-4a's. ;)
