Yep zip drives were crappy pieces of junky crap; a triumph of convenience and 
cost over quality (I had the much more reliable and well-made Syquest EZ-135 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EZ_135_Drive>)

My Syquest disks and drives are still functional; I haven't got a single Zip 
disk left that works.
