Unless you had pocket PC or PDA you never needed to touch it. And those were expensive business toys back in the day.
When I was a kid I scored a Compaq iPaq for cheap on eBay. I even got the expansion pack for it that slid over the device with a dial up modem. When we would travel away from home, I could get on MSN messenger and chat with friends on there. I thought that was pretty cool at the time.
Oh. Same. I had HP iPaq and loved that thing. Used it as smart phone and had a dumb phone next to it. I was so proud of my setup.
Or just a thumb drive?
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.
Trying to remember if those existed at the time. And am not remembering anything.
Apparently it wasn't removed till win 10....

I didn't use it before USB drives cause we usually used laplink to transfer big file collections...
Oh wow. I did not know that. I remember it during Win 95/98 era.
