Orphan Zip disks Jul29 '06
I have about a dozen blank Iomega Zip disks, all 100 MB each, that I used back in college. I’d like to trash them, but I am having a hard time parting with them.
I don’t know why. I am usually good at "getting rid of things."
For some reason, I keep telling myself they might be useful someday, once again.
Of course, I know this is not true - because these days, storage space is very easy to come by. It’s also very easy to transfer things - even really large files, from one computer to the next.
So why am I having a hard time getting rid of these disks? I guess I feel like I’d be wasting 1.2 GB of storage space.
Perhaps I’ll burn all the data on these discs to a DVD, and then just trash them.
Let’s see if I can do it.
