I remember when the Zip drives first came out. Of course, I got
one of the first ones. And with the 100MB disks, I couldn't
understand why I needed a second disk. After all, if I double
spaced the one disk I had, I would have almost 200MB at my disposal.
I think was in the seventh grade when I had saved up enough to buy this
laptop from someone else. I saved the money from cutting yards and
borrowed the rest from my father. Of course, I paid him back that
summer.
After giving it to my parents and younger brother, they managed to break
the screen so only part of the screen is visible (see the picture).
3/2004: I attempted to pull the data from that laptop's hard disk
by taking the computer apart and plugging the drive to my USB laptop
drive adapter. Unfortunately, that drive's disk controller was
large enough that it would not attach to the adapter. One day,
I'll pull the data from it. At least I took some good pictures of
it. |
