[Eug-lug] Linux convert

ROFL. You'd have to hope a system that old even has a USB port.
In any case if there was even a single USB port that'd be good.
Odds are that though they may have dozens of Zip disks, and I
can tell you now they won't be more than Zip100's, that many of
them would probably only have a few megs of data on them. Odds
are everything could be consolidated to a 2GB or 4GB thumb
drive. Have the user start putting everything into a folder on
the hard drive. Then find out how big that folder is and go from
there.
