Remember MiniDisc? The one and only true storage medium! Hail MiniDisc!

It could’ve been a great computer storage medium, but it took far too long to be sold as such. By the time minidisc was being marketed as floppy/zip replacement, cd-Rs were a thing.

But minidiscs were so much cooler. They came in neon colours and you felt like a super hacker man when you clunked them into a player and used them for storing data rather than music.

Neo used MiniDisc in Matrix. 'Nuf said.
