i saw some things on the net, but my question is..

Depends on the model, but your better equiped for the futrue if you get the MCD (memory card reader) model

i got my XL new back in march and i got the "smurf" blue model. it came with an internal memory card drive. the zip drive is what usually comes standard on the XL, i think.
in response to ur question, a built in zip drive is just a disk drive that uses zip disks, sort of like ur cd drive uses cd's. get it?

The standard for the grey models is a floppy drive so a zip drive is a really useful extra. I just got my mpc and it came with a floppy so im gona buy an external one for it.

@ Beatprofessor: I saw they had a discount on the 2000xl a while back at Feedback:
www.feedback.nl

And @ Ema and Bicedidit: It's good to see newbies helping out too, that way nobody has to reply to the same questions for years.
