I actually never heard of that, not until much later during retrospective discussions. I went to school for 3d Animation, and was very important to be able to save your work on a medium you had full control of, and floppies were way to small for that. So maybe I was just lucky. Our school had a choice of zip disks or Jazz disks. Since I already owned a zip drive, it was what I used. I was one of the lucky ones to be able to do some school work at home.
