Yea, but trashing something just because you can't use isn't nice.
That seems to be the domain of way too many Windows/Mac users these
days.

I use Mac for all my downloading currently, appletalk the stuff over
and also use the Mac as a backup device for my GS...use Salvation
Bakkup to backup to a file on my mac over appletalk.  Much, much
easier than backing up to floppies.

I'm sure a zip would be easier, but they charge too much for them
for what they are and what the quality of them seems to be.  I
know a couple of people who have lost data to the 'Click of Death'.
