I need a bigger zip drive. It's official. Since I am leaving my job, I am pulling all my personal files off my work computer. Like pictures, specifically wedding pictures. We were married March 2007 (almost four months!) had well over 1000 taken, and I have most of them on the desktop at home. I found a file of 300 pics on my work pc. (Although with several other pic files.) So I pull out my trusty zip drive, and start moving files. I am simply moving them from the pc to my laptop. about two inches, and a drastic change in hardware. Then for the first time, I am told there isn't enough space. I clear the zip, and start over. Same thing. After a very frustrating few minutes, I end up having to divide it into seven different smaller files. I am going to have to pull each one individually. Needless to say I am not so thrilled about this little endeavor. My kind and friendly neighbor is generous enough to spare me the pain of this, and offers me his 4gig zip. I get them all moved over in one clean and easy movement. Thank you, Chris. I have never really felt like I was behind the times when it came to my laptop or internet or even zip. My husband is extremely savvy, thanks to his work we have the luxury of needing a high speed connection (10 mgs), we have a very nice PC, and we both have fairly nice laptops (okay his is totally Uber). But now, I feel ancient. I have been humiliated by 128mgs.
