Stephen, Did you catch the Jaz write up in Rolling Stone? One question, okay maybe a couple, I have regarding your floppy comments. As corporate US has had to downsize to please shareholders and senior and to an extent middle management have had to pick up the work load, with new OS's and the storage intensive files that are created because of the ease of use of multimedia apps, the need to download info from the internet, etc.. how long is a floppy going to be able to contain those files? Also, if you were to do the math on the cost of a floppy vs. Zip for the amount of storage you get, you will see how expensive floppies are (use $12 for Zip not $15 as the prices have been coming down). Also, how are you going to manage all those floppies? Are you going to continue to do the floppy prayer each time you stick it in to the drive, hoping your files are not corrupted?
