The three great blunders:
1. Getting involved in a land war in Asia
2. Going up against a Sicilian when death js in the line
3. Developing a new floppy disk in the late 90s
Floppy storage had stagnated since the mid 80s. Files were getting bigger. Digital cameras finally existed. MP3 players existed.
Clearly the time was right for a new floppy disk. The people crave a new floppy disk. Who will win? Zip? Ls120? Caleb uhd144? PocketZip?
Nope! It'll be CD burners for a couple years, then flash memory will eat the lunch of any other portable media forever.
@foone Thanks for the memory refresh.
@miermont That was the Bernoulli Box, by iomega. That's from the 80s. By the mid-90s they'd switched to Zip Disks, and by the end of the decade they were pushing PocketZip/Clik! instead and the bigger Zip Disks like the Zip250 and Zip750
