Zip Drives - Help me navigate this mare incognitae
i am going to pose a stupid question - how do zip drives work. i mean, do they actually compress the data so 1 gig because x megabytes, or is it akin to a cd-rom or floppy disk?
i need to free up space on my hard drive - too many pornos, you know - and i'd like one or several of the more computer savvy members to provide guidance. recommendations would be nice, too. at the moment, i am favoring iomega's zip 750 mb.
or, is what i want, a portable hard drive? please, please, with sugar on top, give me an answer.
thanks.

my advice is, burn all your spare shit to CDs

nah nah, its ok
its all a progression
its all a process
cos i have these things
doesnt mean that i dont have problems
i have a whole stack of shit to deal with
and im getting by, slowly
occasionally mental, but generally with it
im putting things that have happened favourably for me
in the last 3-4 years down to alot of luck
its not like ive acutally worked for or deserve anything ive got.
life's pretty straight without vidalia :You_Rock_
no you do deserve it..dont be so hard on yourself
it just amazes me how life is so, i guess fastforwarded there..and in UK as well...here, after the highschool thing, you do the university thing...its just so different

1. lets clear one thing up
no im not being hard on myself
im being nakedly honestly confessional
ps. and im right
2. bollocks
your ( north americans ) life seems on fast forward to us a helluva lot.

a zip drive is just a storage device
before the usb revolution
it was useful for eg. design students
who may need to jump from computer to computer
and use large files, graphics files
unlike word docs. that most ppl use
and those ppl can use a floppy or email to save their work
