I was in college in 2000. They had us use zip disks at first, but it was around that time that USB flash drives started coming out so we quickly transitioned to those. I liked the zip disks, they were definitely cool, but couldnt beat the convenience of a USB drive. Though, they were like 64MB and a bit over a dollar a meg, while a zip disk was like 15-20 bucks for a pack of them.
