Why? You pay $10/100mb of *delicate* storage that can be destroyed by magnetized fields, dust, heat etc. You could buy a CD burner and spend 39�/700mb of storage that is guaranteed up to 11 years. Why use a Zip? You shoulnd't even be allowed to complain about it. It is sheer stupidity. The burner would pay for itself in 10-15 Zip disks?!?!? Couple that with the fact that if you are sharing data not everyone has a Zip drive...but everyone has a CD drive nowdays. It just doesn't make sense. I have seen far too many clients of mine lose important data to Iomega drives for it to be a coincidence. Do the math. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
