Sam, that's an interesting offer by Best Buy. Interesting, because if you monitor the newsgroups, comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage, for one, has a running stream of people who CAN'T get their Zip drives to work at all.
Now, Best Buy sells a lot of brands of machines, including Packard Bell, which seems to have a reputation of not being the best kind to work with (I don't have one, I have no opinion on them, so don't yell at me.) If they can make a Zip work with ALL of their machines (and if they couldn't, they would have a lot of returns under the 30-day no-questions-asked warranty), then these things must be better than the chatter on the newsgroups seems to indicate.
BTW, a couple of months ago, Circuit City had a similar promotion with free printers (ink jet?) with any non-Apple, non-notebook computer.
