Many companies such as Dell give Student discounts. ( I love my Dell ) I would suggest getting an external 250 Zip. I see that Zips, although still popular with some university programs, are being phased out. They just are not as efficient as the CDs. An external one would be a better investment. With sales and rebates, it would be worth the look at stores such as Best Buy. Good Luck
