Iomega is garnering industry prizes left and right. You can check out IOMG's latest listing of awards here. And when you've got the hottest storage products on the market, it's hard not to be the center of attention.

Iomega's been in the spotlight with both the computer industry and the general public.

What people are saying about Zip
================================
Flexible Storage...The Zip, a high-density floppy in a hard cartridge, enjoys strong popularity because it's so inexpensive-less than $200 for the drive, and about $19 per 100MB disk. The higher data density and faster rotation speed move its performance well beyond its floppy heritage.
-MacWorld

Chic, purple and portable. Plus, the cartridges are removable.
-PC/Computing

Generally, storage devices cause about as much excitement in the computer industry as an ingrown toenail. But Iomega Corp.'s Zip drive changed all that.
-PC Magazine Editors' Choice

The inexpensive, 100MB-capacity Zip drive is easy to install and incredibly portable, making it the perfect, hassle free means of archiving data. The Zip is also great for transporting files that

The floppy disk that's equivalent to almost 70 standard floppies.

-SPIN

In addition to its small price advantage, the $199.95 Zip wins the ease-of-use derby by virtue of several innovations including its floppy-disk cartridge insertion and removal and a take-me-along attitude inspired by its lightweight design and compact cartridges.
-MacWeek

The Zip drive itself is so light and small that it's a trivial task to move it from machine to machine.
-PC Magazine

The Zip drive is smaller, lighter...One of the tests we did...was to use the disks as frisbees up and down the hall-no loss of data. -KPIX-FM Radio, San Francisco

When it comes to removable storage, FUN isn't exactly the word that springs to mind, but that's exactly what the Zip drive is.
-PC World

The Zip drive...it's better than sex!
-Howard Stern

Ditto Easy 800: Unlike the DynaMo, the Ditto Easy keeps its promises; count on it to cover your back.
-HomePC

At a hundred and fifty bucks, everybody should have backup. There's just no reason not to. And the nice thing about a parallel port backup is that you can do it on a bunch of machines. I use it [the Ditto drive] all the time. It's a good way to transfer data.
-On Computers, KSFO-AM Radio, San Francisco

Finally someone has brought large capacity backup within the reach of anyone who can afford a PC.
