Get a CD burner. More cost effective and versatile. a CDR can store 700mb of
data at a cost of 20�, where the zip stores 100mb for about $10. Zip media is
just like a floppy. It's magnetic, and prone to damage. CD's are more
durable. Plus you can burn copies of your CD's or music you download off the
net.
