I remember taking my first GIS course and having to buy ZIP discs for each project around that time. That ended up being an expensive class.

Also, the lab PCs re-imaged every time they shut down, so if the PC crashed you had no way to recover the data if you hadn't written it to the zip drive, which we usually only did at the end of the day because they were slow.

We basically had a revolt to get the university to unlock the USB ports for us to use those fancy new flash drives the next year.
