I have a zip drive which I proudly display at the back of a cupboard somewhere.
Used to be used for a medical practice where they’d send disks up to Syd. every week for back ups.

Those floppy drives are mad useful when you do a deep clean and find Ye Olde Shite. I’ve still got one kicking around, amazing how many times it gets used once people realise you have one

I don’t have Ye Olde Shite, those li’l guys are in current use here. My sewing machine uses them for design files, so they are my link from the computer.
