Let me quote the whole sentence:

However, some diskettes have shown surface defects in areas with compressed archives (zip).

There are many diskettes. Some of those have defects in areas with compressed archives. There is nothing to suggest that of the many diskettes there are any with defects in areas other than compressed archives.

You failed to parse correctly, the some you quoted is saying that of all the disks some have errors. Not as you suggest which is that of the disks with errors, some have errors in zip archives. The AC was right.

So I have to be honest, I was just as happy with my google voice account (maybe more so, but time will tell) when I could not use it on my iphone. Now you might be asking why, and maybe my use case is not common, but google voice fills a nice roll in my life. 1) Random people at bars get google voice # 2) Companies that require a phone number get google voice # Pretty much my google voice number is like my spam e-mail account. If you got this number, well good luck getting a return call. The ability to make calls from this number is nice if I ever do return a phone call from some random girl at a bar or some company that really wants to talk to me about why I downloaded their white paper. The only other use case that I can see myself taking advantage of is the free SMS, although to be honest, it's more of a pain to let all of my contacts know who is texting them than it is to pay the $5 a month for my SMS plan.
