Ok another thought just popped in.........<gg>

I was at my local CompUSA in Garden City NY yesterday and saw a new arrival of SparQs and SyJet 1.5 gig Drives.....the Sparqs were going for $199.....right alongside
the Zip+s which is 100megabyte, 1/10 of 1 gig...for the same price. Well, I thought, this has to impact Zip sales somewhat. I pondered that I could probably back up all my "stuff" onto one disk. But then I said....." well great, but, what if I lose the frigging thing....then I'm really screwed!!!"

So 1 gig really kind of seems to me as over kill for this segment of the market.

It belongs alongside the Jaz Drives....so I tried to find where the Jaz were stocked and the I remembered.....they keep the good stuff behind the counter<ggg>.

Sparq will die Q3 of 98 IMHO...as Jaz and Zip pricing come down.
