<< Joseph, increased connectivity to networks servers and the almost universal availability of CD-ROM as a delivery mechanism for software have negatively impacted sales of Zip drives. Moreover, they are inherently unreliable media for long-term storage and often CLICK...CLICK...CLICK... right out of the box. It's simply a non-critical add-on whose best days are behind it. >> Rod, I don't see the connection. Zip and CD-ROM don't address the same market. (A well-discussed topic on this thread) And based on the experience of my work group (everyone is networked) we seem to need more zip disks all the time. So far, 1 out of our 12 drives has gone bad, over the past year, & that because it got knocked around in the lab. Far from being noncritical, it has now become standard for us: any new computer we get has to have one. (NO, not because I'm a shareholder :-) ) Final note: our institution (a national lab) is pushing some standard Micron package on everyone (they get a special deal) and Micron includes zips. cheers Eve
