Good advice Steve... OTOH I'll second Robert's opinion on Zip drives by saying that I bought two more Syquest 135 drives AFTER they went tits up because they're much faster and more reliable than the Zips and I don't have to take the disks to a service bureau, just use 'em for sneakernet.
FWIW I also think the 'Avanti' by Studebaker was the best looking American 'sporting' car ever made.... Studebaker??? Do they make bread? =) Cheers...Michael >Robert H.
