Zip drives do work very well, but similar drives of 120mb
capacity are likely to become standard equipment on new
computers, and they are likely to be more like 3M's floppy
drive than Zip. A person might be better situated to either
wait for the new standard (by convention, not declaration)
or be prepared to realize that the Zip, like the tape
cartridge of old, is an interrum solution.
