I have an even better suggestion. Why not buy two disk caddies for $25
each. You then buy a hard drive, much less expensive than a zip or jazz
drive, (about $125 for a 2gig) of any size you like, copy your fixed
drive to your removable drive (in total). You then can transport the
hard drive to any other computer that has a disk caddie cartridge,
reverse the download and there you have it. I do it all the time. I
have two locations that I trade from, one in San Francisco and the other
in Lake Tahoe.
