I spent almost 10 years from the mid/late 90's onwards working for a hosting company who is in the top 5 largest in the world. We offered this solution with Zip Drives, CD's, DVD's and tapes for all of that time and it was consistently used throughout that period.

I left the company a few years ago, but the week I left, we had to find a USB zip drive that we could get working, because some customer had been more willing to pay our hourly rate to upload content from a zip drive than to upload the data themselves, or even upgrade to less antiquated technology.

Lots of people have money and technology requirements - but neither the skills nor the motivation to upgrade their local environment.

Dang... a ZIP drive! That reminds me of those Super Discs -- is that what they were called? Somewhere in between a Zip drive and a floppy disk...
