I am considering options for increasing my hard drive capacity from the current 1.5 gigs (Hey, it was a good computer when I got it 2+ years ago!). I currently use Iomega Zip drives as a supplement to my hard drive. While they might be good storage disks they are inconvenient to work off of (that is, they are SLOW!). >From what I know, SparQ drives are less expensive and more flexible than just an outright upgrade, but what are their downsides? My budget is small, so I am looking for creative solutions. **************************************************** Lesa Barnes -- lbarnes@co.jefferson.wa.us Community Health Analyst Assessment Coordinator Jefferson County Health & Human Services 615 Sheridan Port Townsend WA 98368-2476 phone: 360-379-4470 fax: 360-385-9401 **************************************************** .
