Floppy Drive & Pack & Go • For floppy drive presentation must be 1.44 MB or smaller. • Placing on several disks can be a problem as if one disk is bad, you have lost the whole presenation. • Pack & Go uses several floppy disks. • Does not always work well & can be a problem to unpack. • You may lose audio or music on conversion.
Zip-Drive Storage • Must have a zip-drive available on your computer to use this storage. • The computer you are transporting to must also have a zip-drive. • Zip disks hold 100 MB of information (69 disks) or 250 MB (173 floppy disks). • As zip drives are getting cheaper to purchase, this can be a viable storage system. • Iomega zip drives cost $80 - $200.
Internet Storage • Upload files to storage space on the web. • http://www.xdrive.com/index.jsp • http://www.streamload.com • Small monthly cost of $5.00 and up depending on the space used, from 5 MB to 1 GB. • You can access your files from any computer with internet access. • Good back-up for presentations.
Email Transportation • Use this if presentation is 4 MB or less. • Send during low usage time as this slows down the system due to being a large file. • Send it to the computer you will use for your presentation. • Easy to use as long as email is accessible.
CD Storage • You must have a CD burner accessible to your computer or you may email it or use internet storage to move it to a computer that does have a burner. • Be sure you save the CD in a format that can be read by different types of computers. • Once burned, run on a computer to make sure it is saved as a complete presentation. • One CD can hold 650 MB of information (452 floppy disks). • Recordable CDs are inexpensive, so this is a low cost way to save several PowerPoint presentations.
