Comment on Bring Back the Burned CD— They’re a love language. And a reminder of the hope we once had.
homes@piefed.world 5 hours agoWhat’s stopping me is that I haven’t had a CD burner in like 12 or 15 years
External USB ones are free in boxes of Frosted Flakes these days.
I have a genuine honest to goodness 5.25" bay mounted Blu Ray burner in my tower right now. Hey, you never friggin’ know. It comes in handy every once in a while. There’s a machine in my basement with an LS-120, a Zip drive, and a 5.25" floppy drive in it that all still work. Occasionally I still find myself needing to get some monumentally important ancient file off of some kind of floppy disk or other for somebody.
Lol, oh I know. I just really never liked burning CDs anyway. I had a mini disc player, lol.
I was soo excited about ls120. Zip drive capacity in a 1.44 MB disc format with backwards compatibility. How could it not become the next big thing?
Because it made that noise.
They still sell them
