Years ago I worked with the guy who ran the Zipdisk division at Iomega in the 90s. He said at one point the C-team spent several weeks doing hundreds of back to back one user sessions in user offices & homes. And the result was they decided to scrap the disk product they'd had 100 engineers working on for the prior 18mo and instead they created the Zipdisk, which broke all success metrics at the time.
Dat waardeer ik enorm. De zipdisk was de grote broer van de ouderwetsche 1,44" Floppydisk waar maar 1,44 Mb op kon, op de Zipdisk paste 'wel' 100 mb Wat toch echt wel een enorm verschil was in die tijd π Nu wil ik er vooral aan leerlingen een gevoel voor verhoudingen mee geven.
!! Gezocht !! (Delen is lief)
Voor het mini museum op mijn werk ben ik op zoek naar 1 of 2 #zipdisk schijven.
Ze hoeven niet meer te werken, het gaat er alleen om dat ik ze aan leerlingen kan laten zien.
Het apparaat zelf heb ik al, helaas dus zonder schijf(jes).
We normally don't post here but...

Anybody remember the Zip disk? πΎ
It was an alternative to the floppy disk for data storage - until USB sticks took over.
I just found another one, but sadly, I sold my dad's Zip drive on eBay a few years ago.
