The Zip drive makes
organizing, copying,
storing, and transporting
large files easy. The Zip
drive uses a Zip disk, which
gives you more storage
space than a diskette. A Zip
disk offers extra space for
the following types of
tasks:
➜ Storing files from the
Internet
➜ Backing up files from
the hard drive
➜ Storing games
➜ Saving school or class
projects
➜ Saving family files and
budget records
➜ Creating a multimedia
library with image,
sound, and video files
