Re: Zip Drive

["Documentation Dept." <docdept -at- YAHOO -dot- COM>]

 I bought a Zip drive when I went back to school (continuing career ed
- multimedia) on the recommendation of fellow students.  I discovered
 that  Zips are absolutely invaluable.  I've used mine to:

  - transfer large files between non-networked computers,

  - backup personal and professional files, and

  - run programs that would not load onto my overstuffed hard drive.

Programs running from a Zip drive are slow at best, but when I was in
school it was much easier to pay for the student software and a new
cartridge than it was to pay for an upgraded computer.

 Now that I have the upgrade, I still use my Zip to archive messages
from listservs, store programs I don't use often, and back up my
computers. I recommended that the office buy Zips right before we
relocated, to doubly ensure the safety of our data in case the movers
did something like drop a computer.
