Pardon my anger but I'm not in a great mood tonight, and reading Mr.Savitz's response really pissied me off...I mean the guy is a jerk*ff....Yeah sure the Hifd is compatible with a 1.44 floppy..but....helloooooo.... , MORON, a floopy drive probably costs an OEM $9.99 or less.the Hifd is going to be hard pressed to bring there internal in for less that $99.99, and still lose $ at that which can only be recouped in media profit of which there will be little, Because IOM controls the market.they can pick up a portion , but with the Zip Drive;s exponential growth, not to mention Zip200, it will not be materially negative to IOM IMHO

Floppy $10+Zip $65*=$75..*by the time Sony comes out with the drive that's what an OEM internal will probably cost

Floppy $10+HiDud $100= $110

I'm Savitz's is pathetic ...he a fool!!!!!!!!!!
Gee I'm Compaq and I need to squeeze as much margin out of my product, which way do I go...?

That's all I feel better now
