Note they are pitching this as a replacement to a Zip drive.

>> Connected Online Backup
Direct price: $14.95 per month; free transfers (both backup
and restoration) for 50MB of data per month, 25 cents per
megabyte thereafter; $24.95 for backup CD-ROM (containing up
to one year's worth of data)
Connected Corp., 800/353-3078 <<

Lets see, could buy one ZIP diskette a month and dont have to wait to get my restore in the mail.

Be long IOM or be wrong.
