Hi Bernard,

Actually, the Bondi iMacs did not have internal Zip drives or any other removable storage. You could, of course, add an _external_ USB Zip drive, or USB floppy drive, or whatever.

burn data to a CD, then they can't copy to removable media at all!

What does it say in System Profiler on your wife's machine?


By golly, you're right! I guess the idea was that users were supposed 
to back up and exchange files via the internet.

How soon we forget. Those first generation iMacs (as well as my trusty old blue and white G3 which my wife now uses) without the floppy drives used zip drives as removable media. They didn't have writable CD drives. Had to add an external recordable drive for that.
