Zip Disk was on the Best *and* Worst lists 
When 4X CD-R drives were $500+ and the blank disks were $5+ *each*, and nobody had even thought of flash thumb-drives, Zip Disks were DA SHIT.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (2001) on the list of losers? Hell no! I stuck with it until the bitter end... until many sites would no longer work with it. It used way less resources than the current IE8, which leaks memory like crazy.
