Perhaps you could convince them to buy you the new "PC" from Apple:
Power Macintosh 7200/120 PC Compatible. You get a full Pentium and a
full PowerPC in the same box. It is great. More info at:
http://product.info.apple.com/productinfo/datasheets/dt/pm7200-120pccomp
.html. As well as at: http://www.apple.com/. There are also other
alternatives from Apple and third parties using Cyrix processors which
are cheaper, both for 486 as well as 586 chips (Orange Micro, DayStar,
etc).
Concerning the Zip I would recommend using magneto optical instead,
because media is much more durable (and cheaper!). Unless you do not
mind loosing data from time to time... Olympus has a new one 128/230 Mb
which is very cheap ($199 or so to come out in August). Much better
than Fujitsu.
Usual disclaimers apply.
Hope it helps,
