I don't understand this.  If you don't have a zip for pc, then don't post
"information" about it.  With a Zip on the pc, simply insert a floppy and 
type 'guest' to use it.  There is no "creating havoc with ..." to worry
about. 

And if they don't know how to set up their computers (which is the best I
can figure from your statements) that's their problem.
