I'm wondering what a Jaz Disk is?

Haha, oh well, at least it sounds cool.

They are ancient Iomega disks that could store up to 2 GB. You had to have a special drive. I used them about 10 years ago when I was in a band that did all of its recording digitally. Back then, recording all digitally was extremely uncommon and the Jaz drive was a big deal, since holding that much data on a removable disk was unheard of at that time.

Nowadays, they are cumbersome and virtually obsolete.

IOMega made the Zip and Jaz drives. Zip disks were like very high capacity floppies (100MB, as I recall). Jaz disks were kind of like a hard disk platter inside of a cartridge, I think they could store something like 1GB. You could move them between computers that had Jaz drives.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

Oops, I stand corrected.
