Re: Alternative to floppy

[Evelyn Lee Barney <evbarney -at- comcast -dot- net>]

I purchased a (very inexpensive < $30)  portable USB floppy drive for 
this purpose. Though I have been laughed at from time to time ("you mean 
they still MAKE floppy disks!?") it's more often been a lifesaver.  My 
problem now is that since a lot of my work is image intensive, some just 
won't fit on a floppy even once zipped. Burnable CDs are the only option 
I know of in this case, since I'm usually looking for something 
inexpensive I can turn over to a client without cringing.
