I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

I’m a millennial and I grew up with 8 tracks and cassettes. I was in grade school when we got our first CD player.
