"I think it's safe to say that RecordIt WILL NOT be distributed on Zip disc."

Rocky,
Why not? They might use the software to get someone to buy another Zip disk, and if they fill it up with enough demos, that disk might stay kind of full. You weren't implying someone thought they would give the disks away? If it's on CD there's no reason to put it on Zip, but if you can sell another disk with possibly a slight premium...

It might sound like a real deal--lots of software, and another a Zip disk to boot, but the buyer might not want to delete their master copy just for extra storage, a la Tools diskette. They might even be able to sell space on the disk for other demos--which I believe was mentioned a while back when Iomega announced Recordit. Even without a premium, that could lead to another disk sold. I am kind of curious if anyone actually bought a Zip Tools disk from IOM.

Later
