Hello Beth,
I'm working as a contractor at Microsoft, doing instructional design on training modules. I live about an hour from campus and work on site two days a week and off site the rest.
About three weeks I purchased a zip drive so I too could transfer large files between machines (one an Intel-based Pentium with NT, the other an Intel-based Pentium with Windows 95/98.
The zip drive has worked great for me so far. I do one step backups and I've got instant data.
One other thing: having the zip drive adds credibility to your professional identity as a technologically-up-to-date person who gets the job done.
Regards,
Bill Brucksch

I'm considering purchasing a zip drive for transfering large files (>5 MB)
between computers. Does anyone have experience with this product or an
alternative solution?
