re: Flash, zip, firewire, mac etc.
"Mac users have lots of them (firewire)"
yes, but mac is just 2-3% of market, so they don't matter
"when you can get 3 750 mb zip disks for $40 and CDRW disks for $0.23 not to mention 5 DVD-R for $14.95. "
i get DVD-Rs for about 2$each
having gone thru floppies, ZIPs, CDs, CD-RWs, powered external IDE/parallel drives, Flash cards, USB flash drives and DVD-Rs ...
Owning several CFs, Smartmedias, SDs, XDs and about 1GB of USB flash, i found that i use mostly USB flash, and, when i need more capacity, i burn a DVD.
"Lexar still does better marketing."
yes
"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 $250 I would have several and so would the rest of the world."
4Gigs for 250$ will happen approximately in 2007-2008
not that far away...
