  • Whither ZIP Drives?

    My four year old Dell Pentium-III/450MHz PC has become overwhelmed by multi-tasking (I'm a writer/researcher and typically have 6-8 screens open at a time) and crashes at least once a day. In looking at new PCs I find that they no longer offer built-in Zip drives. This is very bad news as I have perhaps 100 zip disks containing needed and irreplacable material. 1. Can one still buy a new PC with a Zip drive? 2. If not, what is the best way to convert all zipped data to CD format, and what accessories are needed? Thanks.
