We use Zip drives. I use them for the same thing you want to do --
moving files from office to home -- and have had no problems at all. I
also use them to move large files between computers in the office, since
the only computers connected to scanners are not on our network. They're
extremely handy, but I don't think the floppy is obsolete yet.
