| Iomega's implementation of anything is rather crappy... how does one | explain that reading or writing to a Parallel Zip [100] drive on my | dually P2-400 (with the parallel port set to either ECP or EPP) soaks up | 80+ percent of my CPU. Yes, i do get irritated with that. But, for my laptop it seems the only practical way to go for backups and archives. It's not too bad. When i get a desktop, if i ever do, i will definitely go with tape and cron.
