Zip's are cool, but I really think the LS-120 will replace the current floppy drive standard because of their compatibility with 1.44 media. Compaq 4000's come with them as standard equipment and many manufacturers are starting to put in BIOSes that can handle them better. Imation/3M are doing a good job of seeding the channels.
