Plugged in my zip drive, XP configured it in 30 seconds, proceeded to format 12 zip disks, no problems. Incidently, Active Disk "technology" is for installing software on zip disks (which if anyone does that they should be shot), so I have no ned for that. Also, about a year and a half ago, I managed to install Bryce 3 for Mac on a zip disk so we could run it without the teacher knowing, and it worked fine, so i don't see what the point of "Active Disk" shyte is for anyways. Course Macs are just SLIGHTLY different than pcs. oh yeah, nplus, ever try playing an mp3 while surfing the net? HAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!! MAC SUX!!!!! HA HA and HA!
