Is the $79.50 B&M price available nation wide? Is it in some ad or flyer?

Zip drives are dead as a storage media.

Agree. Spend your money to get a flash (thumb) drive.

I passed this up since I got lots of USB mini drives including the Sandisk 1GB from BestBuy.

Don't see why not. The Easy Rebate doesn't require you to send anything in. If the instore price is accurate, this is a heck of a deal - use a $15 off $75 and send for the two rebates and make around $30. Who cares if nobody uses zip disks - you can throw the drive away and still make a profit.

Buying now Zip drive is only good if you already have one or archive of Zip discs and need spare.
Otherwise, as said before, it is dead: you cannot take the disc to most other people in the world, and for yourself, used other methods. Also, I would not trust this removeable media for reliable long term backup.
Also cost of media is very high. It is like orphan technology today.

I like this statement from the page "Hurry, offer expires 12/31/2005!"

It's stupid to carry those heavy Zip disk and drive anywhere when you have better choice, no mention to the driver installation to every computer you want to use.
Buy a 1GB flash drive in stead.
