Ah christ. Thanks for the reminder of my IOM stock tanking mess. I too loved Zips, but the CD-Rs killed them. Besides, IOM hasn't been able to get off their ass and innovate anything "Great" since the ZIP Disk. You can argue one or two of their products were maybe "good" but the price point was outrageous.

Also still wondering why SuperDisks never took hold. Oh yah. FLOPPIES SUCK. >>
I have an internal, my bro has an internal, and I also have an external USB, plus about 20 or so 100MB disks. They're great for dumping stuff relatively quick or transferring stuff that's only about that size. I think the 250MB version was a stupid idea, frankly, especially when the 250 drives I've used were slower on a 100MB disk than a normal 100 drive...
I never tried a jaz drive, what's wrong with it? >>
Nothing is "Wrong" with the Jaz Drive it works fine.
1 Jaz Drive : $300
1 3pk 2GB Jaz Disk Pack : $300
You can do the same thing with multiple CD-RS for MUCH MUCH LESS. Plus, no one uses JAZ, so for me, it's just another expensive storage medium. I can't give anyone a JAZ Disk and say here (believe me it would be nice to do that).
