Acer realizes that various users have various needs. And that there is no such thing as one computer fits all. That's why Acer now makes it possible to configure your machine offering this highly reliable and durable drive.
Advantages: ALMOST NOTHING Disadvantages: ALMOST EVERYTHING
...FLOPPYDISK
A very good device to save some of your stuff. 1.44mb is not much of a very big space. It is not worth it but the price you pay is comparatively small. There are more devices like USB and Mp3 players which costs just bit more and gives more space.
To be precise in 1.44mb you can just save about ONE or two JPG image. if u need something to save your project in or which you might need for long it is not worth it. it is worth for some one who just wants to save some word documents.
The another disadvantage which is kind of a major one is that the laptops don't have a floppydrive built in. You need an external Floppydrive to make this thing work in the laptop.
Hope this is useful....

The fact that it had a DVD AND a CD rewriter really applied to me because I have a lot of DVD's and it means i can copy CD'S
Also the fact that it had a floppy disc drive was very useful, as at uni i will be able to save my work on the floppy and then print it off using the Uni's network! Many of the newer...

Advantages: quicker than floppys, holds several hundread MBs of data, easy to carry around Disadvantages: will need a zip drive, not all computers will have them
...INTRODUCTION
For those of you who don't know what a Iomega Zip 250 USB Powered is, it is a portable storage device which accepts disks roughly double the thickness of a standard floppydisk. They store about 70 times the amount of data than a standard 1.44MBfloppydisk does. The device is a small, lightweight and attractive looking device that can be easily placed near your computer without taking up much desk space. The good thing about the device is that it is powered from your computer's USB port and requires no additional mains plug or batteries.
DISKS TO BE USED WITH THIS DEVICE
There are various disks that can be used in the device. Only ZIP compatable ones though that can vary in size from 25MB, 100MB to 250MB. You will find that 100MB and 250MB are used now. The typical price of a 250MBdisk is around £10, although as ZIP...
