My shift from paper tapes to USB drives saved so much headache

I used to spend ages fixing torn tapes and now a simple file transfer does the job. It feels good to leave that frustration behind. What old tech are you glad to see go?

Wait, you actually worked with paper tapes? That's wild lol. I thought those were like museum pieces by the time I was born. I can't even imagine dealing with literal torn paper instead of just hitting copy and paste. Honestly it's crazy how much easier things are now, that whole process sounds like a nightmare.

My old Zip drive's click of death still haunts me.
