zip drive takes forever and a-half to copy
recently I've noticed that my usb zip drive takes an astoundingly long time when I copy files to it. 33 rpm files have taken almost 3 hours to copy... this is insane!
does anyone know why this might be, or what I might do to solve this?
yeeesh!
thanks!

zip issues
