   I must have
been the only person on earth who had no dud cartridges or
 click of death, and I used ZIP drives a lot for sneakernetting.  
 I think part of the bad reputation of Zips and Jaz's stemmed from people
 using them for storage, rather than transfer. 
I'll buy that. For me, as it sounds like for you, the ZIP was just a big
floppy, with all the attendant disadvantages. But transfer was much nicer
when I didn't have a big pipe between point A and point B (like, for example,
the printer).

I wouldn't use a floppy for backup either.
