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

ZIP needed a whole ecosystem of drives, so did you have that?

I set up a Snap server in the DMZ with FTPS for customers to drop their files because I didn’t want to deal with that shit.

Lol you were ahead of your time! I'm sure they appreciated not having to FedEx it or drop it off themselves.

No, the customers were several years behind the times. They didn't want to buy flash drives even though Jaz was already discontinued a couple of years before I started working there.

Thank you for thinking this humble drunk could be an innovator though.
