Source: Wired 7.05 The Zip drive did its best to kill sneaker-net -- toting files on floppies between machines. Now, Apple is hammering the final nail in the coffin with an optional DVD-RAM drive in the latest G3 models. Apple says the $550 drive, built by Panasonic, will primarily be for backup and archiving, with 2.6GB of single- or dual-sided rewritable, removable storage. In the alphabet soup of standards, this is not to be confused with much more expensive DVD-R drives, which are used to author full-length DVD movies. Of course, this drive will read your CDs and play Blade Runner DVD in all its glory. Expect to see graphics and multimedia pros, long burdened by big files, lugging fat wallets around instead. At about 0.008 cents per MB, DVD-RAM is one of the most affordable storage methods to date.
