This is a year or two before USB. Windows 98 was the first with built in USB support.

I was using briefcase in 2001 or so. You probably could have used it with a zip drive or superdisk before that. But

I hated floppies. I lost so much data on them. They were very unreliable. I actually lost an internship because a floppy failed when I was trying to use it. Rather than blaming the person who was stupid enough to rely on a floppy as the SOLE location of that info, they blamed me. It held AutoCAD drawings that were going in and out of a machine shop. I'm still bitter.

You’re a better person than they ever were. Just remember that you’ll never blame an innocent intern for the mistakes of others.
