i don't know if i consider zip disks a complete failure, its not like hd dvd to me. it was just a transition point to something better and people in heavy data industries (like in science) used the shyt out of it while they waited for something better and i think they copped it before the regular consumer so it was actually a decent span before usb sticks. it was either that or floppy disks or dvd burning

As an investment for a personal computer it was a poor one that's what I'm saying

What you know about paying 300 for a dream cast then 40 days later it's 99 bucks

What you know about paying 100 for a hd DVD player

Then it being worthless a few weeks later
