The catch is that only works if all systems involved have Zips.  
Fortunately for me, the computer lab at school I use will have a Zip 
drive on every machine (The people in charge are obsessed with state of 
the art, which I have no problems with *grin*).  If the systems don't 
have Zips, then the portability of the system is awesome.  It's about the 
size of your average CD walkman.  VERY portable.  Even with the walwart, 
it very easy to tote are.  And it's durable.

How many people do you know who would lug around their 2.1gig micropolis 
hard drive?  I (if I had one) sure as hell wouldn't.  I wouldn't even 
move the CASE it was in all that much.  not to mention, the small 
footprint of the Zip makes it generally easier to tote around.
