  18.     On what machine?  I get 1.2 meg/sec on my A3000/25 with RSCP.

  20.     I have a ZIP and I like it.  I think that the look of the ZIP is more what
  21. people want to look at.  It's cool!
  22.  
  23.     I've had great success with transfering files with a friend.  Even though the
  24. zip has less space on the media, I have heard that if you drop an ez-disk and
  25. a zip-disk the zip will fair better.
