Hi virgin,
I would be inclined to go for CD-R's and CD-RW's. Each has its own use. Whatever though a zip drive isn't worth the trouble. Especially no the old 8mm DAT tapes *shudder*. I know places that still use them (and regret it). I myself have a HP CD- Writer+ 8200i and I've had nothing but trouble free service from it and the Adaptec software. It's a good choice in that the CD's you create can be read on any computer with a CD drive (so long as you've closed the CD). You can also copy music CD's, etc. Not that I'm suggesting you violate any major copyrights
