They come external, but I'm told you can remove them from the case and 
put them in your PC.

I agree with you there, but GREEN?  :) No, just kidding.  It's "scheduled 
for release"... How do we know it's not going to be vaporware?  And, 
these people were talking (as I understood) right this second, today, 
that sort of thing.  The EZ and ZIP's are both available right this 
second.  Out of those 2, the EZ seems to be the way to go if you don't 
need portability...
