>>i checked compusa and circuit city stores in los angeles, saw a compaq computer in each store with zip inside, no signs of ls-120 in any af them though, what is happening to ls-120, if compaq is the only oem here i thought that i should see at least one with a ls-120 inside. <<

LS-120 is a dead product. Whenever the savvy, high-tech consumer thinks "removable storage," the question is no longer "Should I buy an LS-120 or a Zip?" (and I question if any savvy consumer would have even thought to ask this in the first place...) but rather "Should I buy a Zip, a Ditto, or a Jazz?"

This has already been proven in the "after-market" market (as alluded to in your post). And now that a host of box makers are now offering IOM as either a standard or optional feature, I am certain that all IOM longs will soon enough look back and chuckle at the memory of the LS-120.

regards,

JS
