Cameron, I agree with your article completely and I'll add my additional comments.

For the average computer user the Jazz is way to expensive. Just keep buying additonal hard drives for your system if you need that much space. You can't beat the price or performance. Why spend thousands of dollars on high performance processors, video cards and memory only to have its performance downgraded by an inferior Jazz drive. Portability is a non issue for the average user. Remember in most cases you're only transporting data not an application.

Average users save yourself hundreds of dollars by using the Win95 backup program that's on your Win95 cdrom and use it for multiple disk backup if your data spans more than one disk

Another alternative to squeeze some extra space out of a standard 1.44 foppy disk it to use drivespace 3 on your Win95 Microsoft plus disk and increase its storage space.

I consider myself to be an above the average user and I can say that it would be nice to have a Zip drive but I think I'll go for the 3.5Gig hard dirve for a few bucks more and get fantastic performance and huge storage capacity. 3.5 Gig. HARD DRIVEdivided by 100 Meg=35 snail performance Zips disks that now need storage cases and must all be labeled and sorted.

I'm am not bashing IOMEGA, if I were to buy a large quantity of high capacity removable media I would definetly buy IOMEGA
drives.
