what's a good number of Zip Disks to have?

hey guys,

for a friend of mine who just got an MPC2000XL with a zip drive attached, how many Zip disks should they consider getting? 1? 5? 10? more?

thanks!

a few more than you actually need, there is no "good" number I would say.

yeah true, I guess I'm trying to work out how many my friend will need and then hwlp them get a "few more than they need" like you say.

How many do you have for example?

My total number of zip 250zips is about 10, of which I actively use maybe 3. I back up those 3 on pc AND cdrw (I also have a scsi cdrom and SCSI HDD) every week or so in case something goes wrong, backups are a life saver no matter what gear you are using so let your friend know that ok.

Beat it into his/her head..

cool, thanks for the info
