I was going through a box of stuff given to me, which consisted of odds and ends of computer stuff. I was really surprised at the variety of types of storage media, as there were zip drive cartridges, 1/4" data cartridges that look like an over sized cassette, 1020 ft of tape. 5.25' removable hard disk cartridge - 200MB. PD cartridge -650MB. A Pioneer CD-Rom changer DRM-602X which I assume would allow you to put 6 Cds in to access their programs as needed. And a compact disc player from CD Technology that has a cartridge that you put a cd in before you put it into the cd player. Isn't technology interesting? :greenscreen: :good:

Having been in the IT business since 1987 I have a collection of old media that is quite funny. Some of the original 16mm tapes were huge.

I feel like a kid in a candy shop, at times, I am always finding something new , and have to google for information about, as a lot of the things I run across from time to time, i did not even know existed. The cave man emerges from darkness into the dawn light. :lol: :greenscreen:
