Unfortunately, the availability of Zip drives anywhere in Australia is
ZILCH!!  The arrival of the first shipment (which was to have been about
now) has slipped to about October.  Iomega has apparently decided to try
to meet the huge backlog of demand in USA before satisfying export orders.

Re your problem on accumulating files, join the club! Anyone using the
Internet seems to soon find themselves in this situation. My internal and
external HDs are almost full, even after drastic ongoing cleanouts.  I
cannot possibly last until October. I really want a Zip (I have one on
order), but maybe I will have to go for another external HD (prices have
been dropping fast) or even look at the new SyQuest EZ135, if it arrives
in Oz as claimed next month.  Naaahhh!  I can see myself sleeping soundly
with my data on a SyQuest cart!
