  I have one right here, and think it's great!  It's not as fast as a 
harddrive, but good enough.  I use it and PKZIP a lot for backing up 
my system (faster than most backup software).  It's also handy to have 
when your out and about working on systems, not knowing what they'll 
have or not have.  I just plug my zip drive in, throw in my boot 
floppy, and I'm off, complete with all the utilities I'M used to.  I 
think it was a very good investment.  Have fun!
