Was the first removable media you used precede the CD (Compact Disc)? Did you at one point use Jaz, Zip, or floppy disks?

My first computer was me. I had a pencil and paper, not even a calculator. I removed the media when I took the pencil out of my mouth. That was about it.

I think I used my first computer (PC) when I was about 26 or 27.

The average 3.5 floppy stored only 1.44MB. What were the quality of the photos?

Standard size was 1024 x 768. If you did video it was 640 x 480. It was pretty good for 1997/1998. LOL
