haha, you're joking...right?
transfer all that ish to the computer and use the usb to transfer. zips do look cooler, but old technology like that ain't shit compared to today's options. but hey... do you, and i'ma do me.
With the advent of memory cards, floppy and zip disks should be damn near obsolete by now. Plus, I haven't heard of a situation of data loss from using a memory card..... it happens ALL THE TIME with floppies and zips.
I agree, I can remember going to school 5 years ago to use an Xl every now and then, I thought the zip disk thing was a luxury..but these flash cards knock them out the water.
Zips really are THE unreliable nightmare. i had WAY more success with floppies in terms of Working. external floppy drives are dead cheap nowadays so the transfer idea is a good one.
