Comment on Bring Back the Burned CD— They’re a love language. And a reminder of the hope we once had.
homes@piefed.world 2 weeks 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.
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.
Maybe I’m remembering it wrong, but by the time they were introduced, even Zip drives were on the way out?
Yeah. Everyone was moving to CD-R.
Lol, oh I know. I just really never liked burning CDs anyway. I had a mini disc player, lol.
Nice, I found the one other MiniDisc user on Lemmy. It’s an honour to meet you.
I really thought they were the future. I should have known better.
They still sell them
