Agile Vector posted:I've said it before in this thread, but I had a princely 32mb cf card and reader and felt like I was from the future when I realized it worked as a regular drive, saving me minutes of transfer time and much of the anxiety of zip clicks. similarly my rear end was saved at work a few times by using my iPod as a USB hard drive

I never heard of the click til coming on here (my first Zip drive was usb so I think they’d figured out that poo poo well before). it was a godsend on precdrw iMacs. 6gb of store was infinite until it wasn’t (and we got roadrunner).

somewhere i have a PICT image that i painstakingly pixeled out from looking at logos in macworld and such magazines dad once brought back a disk full of shareware from somewhere, and i figured if i made a image of all the applications he should bring home, he could memorize those and let me play with photoshop and aldus pagemaker etc

in grade nine i was given a disk with a dos exe that i played on my new pentium 75. it played four short vanilla porn scenes in grainy grayscale, each one obviously just a handful of frames looped for half a minute. some kind of proto-gif (?) that was cut well enough to give an illusion of a longer bonk. it's the only one i ever saw but i guess it was a whole thing there at one point, i think it was from the late eighties or so. after the climax it had greets to the community and stuff, i guess one could find them on BBS or usenet.

Click of death mostly impacted zip drives from the first year or so. Abrupt power loss could damage the mechanism that positioned the head - the original design called for hardware mitigation (a "crash cushion") and they removed it to save some bucks. Many failed within the warranty period and were replaced, but some of them were in production for awhile before the fail condition happened.

I think iomega knew from the beginning that their product would only have a market for five or six years max. Why build a long term brand?

Each clip was opened by a very scratchy sample of Jack Nicholson 'Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds!' I would lomarf if I could ever find it archived online, or find the disc in a box at my folks place.
