[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Shadow: [QB] Fine, let's say that you use floppies to transfer files to another computer every day. Floppies are about $0.60/ea. Assuming a failure rate of one per week, you'd need to buy 52 floppies, which is about $30 a year. A Zip disk, which can last for over a year, is only $20. And, if you need to use more than floppy, multiply that $30 by the number of disks you need, up to 70. Of course, floppies aren't even an option if you use files over 1.4MB, as with graphics, DTP files, etc. Since the iMac, for example, doesn't come with a floppy drive, you can use the money you save on a Zip drive. Also, by buying the iMac, you save the cost of repairs (even parts cost money if you're a do-it-yourselfer) and tech support, and you get things like Ethernet that aren't found on most consumer PCs.
