Ron,

I think Imation is gonna lose this puppy. Anyone who has studied
a little macroecon knows that to start the race a couple of years
late is a handicap few can overcome. Even if I developed a floppy
drive that held a gig of data, took 5 1/4 and 3.5" disks, and sang
opera all the while selling for about $20.00, I would have a tough
time finding customers (except for Rocky, another story). The
installed base out there would be tough to convince, and the poten-
tial new customers would wonder if they could be compatable. The
LS-120 may be a great drive, but just like Betamax, faces a great
uphill battle. However, new technology could be a big problem.
