I'm checking out the Dell pc's, and they don't seem to have a Zip drive. I know they used to offer it, but that seems to be gone now. Can anyone tell me what happened to this option? My new pc will have to have a Zip drive, all my backups are on them. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks, Hal.

Hello, I use this monitor at work, and it's very nice, but unfortunately the front panel controls are all locked. A key symbol appears on screen when I try to use them.

I'm thinking about moving up to a Dim. XPS 5, and just noticed that it doesn't come with a serial or parallel port. :( 1. Serial port: there's a 'Serial Port Adapter' that can be bought with the computer. From the documentation on the Dell site, apparently this hooks up to a connector on the...
