Ok Howard, True about the firewire ports on PC's but Mac users have lots of them. Still I looked and a USB 2.0 HD is still only $115 for 40 Gigs. Flash drives are neat but $50 for 256mb is still expensive when you can get 3 750 mb zip disks for $40 and CDRW disks for $0.23 not to mention 5 DVD-R for $14.95. All are great ways to move data though the Zip disks well they may be gone soon. I was just at MacWorld last week and Iomega wasn't there this year and they usually have a big booth. Did see several flash cards for sale however and the book I purchased on Digital Photography showed pictures of Lexar cards not Sandisk's. I own 3 Sandisk 512 ultra cards and 3 smaller MMC cards and yes 1 Lexar. Sandisk may have a big piece of the prize but Lexar still does better marketing. I still Think the price of Flash needs to get lower for it to really be a huge seller in the data business. If I could buy a 4 gig Flash drive for $250 I would have several and so would the rest of the world. The digital camera market is a completely different story just thinking about the rest of the data world here. Clean
