Basically, an external floppy disk drive that uses slightly bigger, higher capacity, disks.
CDs and DVDs are better in terms of the amount of storage; but a zip disk is better in that it acts like a floppy - you can write more too it, and delete it, at any time you want. Only disadvantage is that you need the right drive(rs), and *possibly* the right onboard stuff. Which is why I would *realy* like a thumb drive - infinately rewritable, multiplatform, self powered, compact, plug-and-play for Win 98 + and MacOS 8+ (I think), easy to move from computer to computer, plugs into a USB port, more than enough storage for what I`d be doing... only drawback being the price of the things.
