Quote: Hi BladeRunner, There are tons of articles about the "Click of Death", "Promissed free Technical Support and then charging for it", and creating a SCSI/Parallel device that isn't truly SCSI compliant, because unlike other SCSI devices it must be the only device on the chain instead of working compatibly with 15 other devices like every other SCSI product out there". Aciddenlty, stepping on my parallel port zip drive was the best thing that ever happened to it ). Okay actually I wish I still had it for compatiblity reasons, but it'd probably just sit in my closet collecting dust any how. Also their drivers are unstable, and slow down the display of My Computer with their cutesy icons. The zip drive icon could simply be embedded in Explorer.exe, but they're too stupid and possibly afraid of the legal implications of doing so. In fact if you search this messageboard I'm sure you can find information about all of this, because it's come up before. -Christian Well I have an iomega zip 100 internal ATAPI drive in my computer NOW and it works great! Has for YEARS! Now that win xp has come out, it has the drivers for it on win xp! Now I don't know about their SCSI drives, never owned one, but I CAN say that this drive I have is a VERY reliable drive. I wouldn't call a WHOLE LINE of a companies products crap, unless you know what you are talking about!

I would check with microsoft if you are really concerned about it, but I think that once a piece of software like win xp has been opened and activated for a certian computer, it would be impossible to de-activate it to use on another computer....unless of course you were going to pirate it! Because windows xp takes a "snapshot" of your motherboard,processor...etc. It also tells microsoft that this is a legitamate version by the way your computer is configured by way of software...so no... I don't think you can re-sell an opened and activated version of xp, but I am not positive of this. Ask microsoft on their website in the customer services department....you can either call or email them.(recomended..... email ....call wait periods for microsoft do get to be long)
