Hi,
Run out means the same as run low - in both cases there isn't much stock left.

Never ever heard before about "zip discs" - is there any other vocabulary available? THANKS! |

I suggest you try and get hold of an English Language computer magazine and you'll get a number of computer expressions that will keep you going for ages! _________________ English as a Foreign Language You can read my EFL story Progressive Forms |

Here's one definition I hope it helps:
Zip Disk An advanced version of the floppy disk, created by Iomega. These disks (typically 100MB or 250MB) enable you to store, share, and backup information from your computer using an Iomega Zip Drive. The Jaz series stores up to 2GB and offers removable storage capacity at speeds matching many existing hard drives. The PocketZip product is designed to work with digital cameras, MP3 players, and mobile computers; it provides removable, rewritable storage on 40MB disks (that means a single disk has more room to store information than 25 floppies put together). |
