ROFL. You'd have to hope a system that old even has a USB port. In any case if there was even a single USB port that'd be good. Odds are that though they may have dozens of Zip disks, and I can tell you now they won't be more than Zip100's, that many of them would probably only have a few megs of data on them. Odds are everything could be consolidated to a 2GB or 4GB thumb drive. Have the user start putting everything into a folder on the hard drive. Then find out how big that folder is and go from there.
