I concur!!!
I too have a ZIP, and would be most unhappy without it.
I have three different bootable Workbench ZIPs. My whole
system has been "saved" thanks to one or the other of the
setups.
One of the advantages of a ZIP is the fact that lots of MACs
and Windows machines seem to be coming with a ZIP installed
as standard. There are, after all, a couple million of them
out there. It is very easy to transport data from my Amiga
to the MACs and Pentiums at school, and the 100 meg size is
a real advantage compared to the 1.4??? size of a floppy. I
do wish I could justify getting the 250 meg version...
It is wonderful with PageStream, cuz my Bak-Up disk is the
ZIP. If my hard drive ever failed, there is a ZIP or two
with stuff on it that I can immediately get.
An ORB is another thought, I guess... pretty cheap on eBay...
You could backup your PageStream files for your whole life,
at least those of us who are not commercial... : )
