  1. I discovered my favorite local electronics surplus shop is closing for good at the end of the month.  So I bought two parallel Zip drives I don't even need, because to help I guess?

      Still have my parallel and usb zip drives. They're an integral component of my vintage computing experience from back then!

      I still have my Zip drives, too; a bunch of 100MB drives (internal and external) and an internal 750MB drive, with plenty of media for both.

       

      (I wonder if Zip is more reliable than flash drives for long-term backups of small files?  I know Zip had some quality control problems, but I seem to recall that was early on.)
