	Out of curiosity, what's so bad about Zip drives?

	I hate tapes.  I had a nice DAT drive once, but it died.  The
replacement also died, in exactly the same way.  It's so time consuming
to do anything with a tape that it's a major annoyance.

	Of course, maybe dds3 isn't a tape and I'm making stupid
assumptions.  :-)

Have fun (if at all possible),
