        NOT AT ALL-Zip drives and cartridges are alive and well.  They are
"selling like hotcakes."  Iomega has come up with a good product.  As a
matter of fact, I believe Epson, Fuji and Sony now have licenses to
manufacture and sell Iomega Zip drives and cartridges since Iomega could
not keep up with demand.  Apple makes Zip drives part of some of their
system bundles now.  On the CD-ROM archiving aspect, we use a Pinnacle
RCD5040 and CD Burner 2.1 software from Pinnacle.  These are Mac OS
compatible.  We have not had any problems to date.  It is very slow so we
burn CDs at night only.
Cheers, geoff
