<< I think the fact that Cicso systems chose Zip for their new Micro Webserver product says it all.>> Bill /All - ... says it all is what in your opinion - The Standard? If the Zip is the defacto standard to replace the floppy, would that mean that people can and will still purchase any of the competitors' drives that they might wish to for their own personal use and reasons, BUT if they want to be sure of being able to exchange data on disks with others, then they had better purchase a Zip too? Is it reasonable to assume that Cisco took a long hard look at all the removable products before selecting the Zip? If so, would it be within common industry practices for somebody at Cisco to get an up close and personal look behind the scenes and fairly deep into the books at IOM to assure them that IOM would be there to supply drives and disks? Same questions would go for Apple, DELL, and Gateway as the most recent OEMs. Is it also reasonable to assume that Cisco et al would have closely looked at and rejected the range of arguments raised by shorts before jumping on board with IOM?
