<Rather,
the 100MB Zip disks are going to drop down below
ten bucks each and people will pass 'em around
without thinking much about the cost. A Bic or
Pilot pen costs about two bucks these days. Do
you really chase after one if somebody walks
off with it? >

Well, I have on occasion 'swapped' data stored on Zip disks. It
is a whole lot easier than any of the alternatives. But they are not
cheap, and I would indeed mind someone walking off with
my Zip disk. I would hunt them down. :-)

But if it is not a problem to get the disk, it shouldn't be a problem
to give it back.

I see more and more of those li'l blue boxes all the time, and
there are a LOT of people that are just beginning to realize they
are out there. The best is yet to come for IOM -- the surface
has been scratched, and with the price coming down it will not be
long before it truly does become the Industry Standard.
