RE: Food For Thought We are getting new laptops at work. One of the new features is a CD/1.44 disk drive combo (they are sandwiched together). Today's WSJ had an IBM thinkpad ad which refered to the Thinkpad's new product debut on 5/13. The ad displayed a CD/1.44 combo drive. I think that laptop users will need and want CD drives going forward. What does everyone think about the new sandwiched drives affect on LS-120's perceived backward compatibility advantage? I looks to me that to have a high capacity disk storage device, a laptop user will need two disk drives no matter what. Zip would go well with a sandwiched CD/1.44 combo. LS-120 would go well with a CD drive. (I wonder what the cost difference is between the sandwich and plain CD?) Given Zips performance advantage, I think this cd/1.44 drive hurts the only perceived advantage the LS-120 has. What does everyone else think. Later, John P.S. Looking for something more than name calling or personal attacks.
