How do you manage to "forget your disc in the drive" ???      My ZIP
drive physically kicks the disc out when  I shut down Windows (95),
making it impossible to "forget" the disc in the drive ...   or are
you  perhaps just switching off instead of shutting down ??    (And
that, of course, isn't a good habit, as it can lead to other problems
with data.)

To be fair to Iomega, my ZIP has performed without a problem to date,
as have those belonging to people I know, and that includes the
imaging bureau I use.   The bureau's ZIP drives, by the way, take
quite a pounding, and hold up well .... although I must admit that
when I asked their advice about what to buy they strongly suggested
that I NOT buy a JAZZ drive, as they've had problems with them ....
they of course have to have as many options as possible so as to be
able to handle what people throw at them ..... if enough customers
have it, they have to have it too ...
