CDR & CDRW might not sound all
that enticing Clarence but I use mine daily for all sorts of tasks. Extremely useful
for porting data/programs to other computers since most now have CD.

Quite the contrary..... I was very enticed by cd-rw last week and about a dozon backup solution possibilities ago. I think we decided tape or the soon to come large removables ie Terrastor were better options for massive backups because of the size limitations of cd-rw.

Clarence.. whose mind is spinning off his body

If you only have 1 computer a Parallel Port isn't a good choice. If you own more than 1 computer or work on friends/families computers or consult Parallel ports Drives are essential despite there slow speed.

The JAZ2 SCSI drive can also work off the parallel port. I am not sure of the details but noted it as an interesting option.
