I have both an external Zip and Jaz drive - but both
are too bulky, too heavy, and media is too expensive,
and as mentioned I've had zip disks fail. I am looking
a lighter, high capacity, more stable option than the
Zip/Jaz - yes, i want it all. all of this needs to fit
comfortably in a backpack so since I can't change the
laptop choice - only the back-up is an choice option
to change for weight/size.
thanks,
kim
