CD-Rs were cool and everything but like that other guy said, burning was really slow and unreliable. Also the discs were single-use and pretty expensive at first. ZIP drives hung around for a long time in graphic design and stuff. Only USB MSDs completely stomped them out.

The first generation CD-Rs were about $2.50 for a single blank, and the burn would fail about 60% of the time. The other guy talking about dancing on one leg as a tribute to the optical media gods for a successful burn was accurate.

I loved the early days of CD burning when disks cost $4 a piece and failed mid-burn 75% of the time.

I never realized how much he looks like Johnny Five-Aces.

I haven't seen that in what... 20 years? But I remembered him as looking like Borat.
