I always thought zip drives were another term for flash drives because so many people just used the terms interchangably.
Reminds me of how everyone is now misusing the term “ROM” to mean “Storage” when it actually means “Read-Only Memory”. Drives me nuts every time I see it in advertising.
It’s funny to me that things like EEPROM are considered ROM. Like, ok, I can write to it? Read only, huh?
