This was cutting edge tech… I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs…

    I started college with a 1.44 MB floppy disk in my pocket and graduated with a 1GB USB stick.

      Those were pretty hard for floppies. Mine were 5.35" and cassette tape before that. But I was in high school at the time, so I probably need to respect my elder.

      I had one of the biggest usb pen drives at the time with a huge 128MB of space. It was very small too, which was nice. At same time for college it was needed to have a floppy disk to save some homework.
