Albert, as far as I've heard Iomega has sold 5 times as many Zips as Syquest has sold EZ135's. And, if you check the sell through in your local Comp-USA or Computer City store, you'll see EZ135's setting there, and Zips selling out in a week or so after they are put on the shelves. The only items selling almost as fast as the Zip are the HP color printers. Also, Iomega has doubled production and will double it again in Q4. If I have my information right Seiko Epson is now also helping them meet the unprecenented demand for their ZIPs. As far as hard drive prces coming down and that affecting the demand for Zips. Maybe, but I don't think so. How many hard drives can you put into your computer. I work in the printing/graphics industry. One image can easily be over 20megs, a job 100+ megs. Zips are ideal for sneaker net. Tapes are slow and sequential. EZ's are fragile. Optical is expensive and slow. My feeling is, Zip is the floppy of the future, Jazz is the hard drive of the future. Ideal for video capture. My humble opinion. Ken -Long on IOMG
