There was a brief window of time where CD burners were new and beyond my financial reach, and so were new Zip drives, but companies were dumping Zip drives for rewritable CDs. I managed to score a free external Zip drive that was going to be trashed, and it was a godsend of an upgrade from 3.5" floppies.
Until I got a second-hand CD-RW drive, then I dumped it too.

That’s where we got half our electronics from, the good ol’ corporate recycle bin.
I had a windows 98SE laptop as a kid with a full power dock and a tiny bubble jet printer.
