Haven't heard that. My S.O. and I both use ZIP disks all the time and have for several years without a problem. I do my non-critical backups onto a ZIP (as a magnetic medium, they're still vulnerable to damage from strong magnetic fields, although that has never been a problem for me) and stuff that's either very large or very important (or both) onto a CD. Blank CD's are so inexpensive in bulk now it's hard to disqualify them on the basis of expense. Perhaps re-writable CDs might be an option? >Are tape drives still in use? Floppies? I've found both of these less reliable media than ZIP disks, myself. >Taking pictures of each screen with a K2 and >a supertak 50mm f1.2 onto Kodachrome 25? Any suggestions...
