More Zip sightings For those who still believe no one is using these dirves I thought I'd pass along another user. Last march I was doing research for a professor while finishing up my degree. One day these little blueboxes appeared next to every computer. No big deal, this guy enjoyedthe latest tech toys (we had bernouilli drives three years ago, adigital Mac camera, and a CD rom before they were even close tostandard on every machine.) I graduated and started working foranother professor who just joined the biology faculty. The lab computers arrived in october and the first thing he did was hook Zip drives all four and issue everyone a zip disk. 4 out of 5 other labs which I have visited also have zip drives on all their computers. The department just added a new piece of common equipment to scan in images which should also soon have a Zip hooked to it. Realizing how technology often starts at universities then makes its way to mass approval (the internet, Apple, Netscape) I spent two weeks before convincing my parents to loan the money to buy this stock last december and the only regret I have is not having enough money to buy myself a drive to store all the shareware files which I have downloaded.
