Where I was it went from 3.5" floppies to USB drives. (There were CDs, but not as easy for things like schoolwork.)

    I very nearly bought one back in the day. Instead I opted for an mp3 player with compact flash storage. I believe I was tired of my cd based walkman’s tendency to skip when I was moving so I wanted a smaller, non-moving drive.

    Then my dumbass bought one of those compact flash drives with an internal platter harddrive.

      My first MP3 player was a Creative Nomad MuVo 64MB, I was one of the first in my school with an MP3 player and since it also was a USB stick I was also one of the first with a USB drive in my school.

      But it was nowhere near as sexy as the minidisc recorders and players were
