I agree with backing up to CD instead of zip. We've all heard about the
"Click of Death" problem with some zip drives. Even without that, you're
doing a major manipulation of data from one format to another, then back
again with a zip drive. All of that is eliminated with the CD. You just
burn a CD of files in their natural state, open them in their natural state.
Less muss, less fuss. CDs are still more universal than the zip drives, as
well.

I'm picking out a new system. When I told the salesman that I wanted
a Zip drive for backups, he recommended a CD writer instead. What
does everyone here think? What are the pros and cons of each?
