Hi Bruce, I am a great ZIP disc user too, but the people I share these files with aren't. Many of my friends still use Windows 95 with a similar age computer. I think ZIP discs are a bit pricey (although I have acquired most of mine new via eBay at a substantial discount) but floppies are dirt cheap. I don't worry about losing them either, as so many people no longer have the drives to read them ;-) Thanks, Malcolm
