Then >the Zip gets the bad reputation. Now there's a typical gamer's reaction.... To hell with people that do real work on their pc's! And what "people .. tend to compare" or is it that I know more than a gamer about a pc's hardware, even though it's right there in the book? I wouldn't have bought the ZIP if it hadn't been parallel.... If some of you guys have been doing _real work_ and struggling with dorky and unreliable Colorado Systems backup and configuration tapes you'd understand what a godsend the parallel port ZIP is. -- Jim Armstrong <jma2@erinet.com> - Office Information Technologies, Inc - PO Box 2025 Fairborn, OH 45324
