i'm not sure if this goes in Software or Hardware World but i guess it's a bit of both.

i'll be buying a new pc (probably a Multi Vision Notebook) and i'm planning on using it for my design work too.

now, i still have the apple mac zip discs i used in college, and they have photoshop, quark and illustrator files on them.

i've forgot if the disks will be compatible with a pc zip drive and also if i'll be able to open the files on a pc.

?

er....think that means the disc itself (not the files) :unsure:
and if you format it you lose the info

but hey, i could be wrong
never touched a mac in my life

if you format the disk you will loose the files. You can open use a program called mac opener to see the mac files.
