Todd, the cost per megabyte of Jaz media is greater than that of hard drives. Given that, how can users reduce the cost per megabyte by using Jaz? I do know what Iomega is actually doing. Some people (I said some people) here seem not to. I don't beleive it's about becoming the standard and replacing the floppy. I don't think Iomega intends to replace the floppy. If they do that, they can't remain a high-margin niche. In order to weave some of the fantasy numbers we have seen, it's necessary to assume that the Zip will become a standard and replace the floppy, while retaining current margins. That is unrealistic, and that is what I object to.
