I remember these but I've never used them somehow.

Got a whole box full of those with my Aple IIe :thumbsup

yay - buying the cheaper single sided discs and then using a hole puncher to make the second side usable :thumbsup

Good ol times. I have so many thrown around my room...... my mom was pissed off all the time:thumbsup

It wasnt that long ago that I had tons of those... used them in 2000, 2001.

yeah, same here:winkwink:

i remember commodore 64, radio tapes with games :) and stick to kill all the bastards :)

i remember working with those ...

Yeah, it's funny how inventions become obsolete. Apparently the book invention is still not obsolete.

So wait, nobody uses them anymore?

I have my entire hard drive backed up to two of them.

I still have this on my drawer! hehehe

These are as far back as I go, and Atari and Alley Cat, etc.:

correct me if I am wrong but back in 1995 or so I used em and i think 25 megabytes or s was the max? I remember a computer class i was taking and the bitch made us use these zip disks to hand shit in...

96 it might have been..

Hah, we use some Iomega 35GB tape drives for backup reasons on certain things.

Me too. :Oh crap

the zip disks were either 100mb, 250mb or 750mb. 100mb zip disks were the originals.

I just got rid of my Zip drive and discs within the last year.

must have been the 100mb disk then at the time I used

I am getting old to ;-)

anyone want to buy my old 80MB hard drive? (just a joke, but the hard drive is actually real) haha This was the hard drive in my first pc. Of course, I only got my first pc in the very early 90's so it's not extremely old. Surprisingly, the hdd still works perfectly.

I've always had a strange fascination with old computers and would love to get my hands on some old storage tape drives like this one

Anyone ever seen these on ebay?

If you're a weirdo like me, what you should do is check out the tour of "old Nasa". Not only do you get to see the original launch pads and some old rockets, but you get to see and touch the original computers used from way back in the 60's. It was so cool I thought I was in nerd heaven. They had a PDP11 there, and some other computer which I was allowed to open up actually had wire-wrapped posts for internal connections. It was awesome!

(Hi ladies!)

Almost as bad as remembering these.

I remember I got a computer with windows 95 on it and a 1gb hardrive and a pentium processor and i was in computer game heaven... all my friends were jealous my parents shelled out like 3Gs on the system....

what a hunk of junk now! lol

I know the feeling. My first PC was a Pentium 75 with 8mb RAM, 80MB hard drive running Windows 3.11 lol


Trumpet Winsock all the way. lol

My Tandy 1000 and dot matrix tactor feed printer was the shit! I still have the user manuals

I had the same. I was standing in tall cotton wiping my ass with the top leaf back then.

Only recently stopped using DAT Tapes

And I can remember playing this for hours and hours

THIS is what you need.

I remember buying one of the first 1gig drives and getting a free zip drive.

pretty nice!!

That's reminded me of taking my brother to pick up a Acorn A3010 and the computer shop man saying that 1MB of RAM was more than anybody would ever need :1orglaugh

Do you all remeber these ancient hard drives?

Work for millions of years, need no electricity and are perfectly green when painted.

Seriously tho, 5.25'' FDD is what I started with. MS-DOS 2.0, Norton Commander and Arkanoid.

it was great time !

yeah, but do you remember the 8" disks?

Ok here's a term I bet very few remember: Wait States.

Anyone?
