>>I think it's safe to say that RecordIt WILL NOT be distributed on Zip disc. If they do, I think you should immediately question the competence of Iomega's distribution department. CD-Roms cost about $1.50 (at the most) per unit bulk maNufacture -- this is including the CD, jewel case, and booklet. Zip disc distribution would cost considerably more. Remember that Iomega Corp. doesn't even use Zip for their own internal data distribution. Too expensive. They bought a bunch of CD-Burners a while back for a reason-- they provide more storage (650MB) for less money.<<

While most of what you're saying in this post is true, I'm not sure I get your point. Yes, CD-R disks are cheaper per megabyte than Zip disks. They're also cheaper than Jaz disks, SyJet disks, EZ Flyer disks, EZ 135 disks, etc. We know this. Is that supposed to mean that removable storage based on magnetic media is doomed? If so, you'd better sell your SYQT.
BTW, the CD burners were to be used to create disks for the distribution of beta software. Specifically, in preparation for the beta program for Buz, and later to be used in beta testing for other products.
