Default My Iomega zip drive is a piece of crap

It is as I say and is useless. I tried plugging, unplugging, different disks and it won't read anything. I hate it, I loathe its very existence and it sucks.

The lights are flashing, but nothing is happening, very much like Madonna.

That pile of crap is absolete. I mean why buy a $10 Zip disk when you can buy 20 CD-RW's for $10? And they hold just as much as the "latest" zip disk if not, more.

These things were only good back in the day when CD-RW's were mad expensive and not many people had them.

The thing is 3 years old or so, and I have stuff on it that I want to transfer to Cd's, but the information is locked on the bastard piece of crap.

Thanks, I'm checking to see if it will work on the Mac. Doesn't look good.

I'm going to send the disks to a friend back in New Orleans, and he'll post them to his website for me to download again.

Crazy.
