- This talk about ZIP drives is great, but there is a large media cost involved.
-
- Floppies and CD-ROMs are relatively inexpensive to duplicate, but
- I think the ZIP media is way too expensive for software distribution.
-
- A ZIP is impractial as the only media shipped on a low-end machine.
- I think the LCD for the low end machines is always going to be
- a 3.5 floppy DD/HD or whatever. ZIPs and CD-ROMS have their place but
- I think we are stuck with floppies for quite some time still...
