Trufflette, "the best argument against the SYQT and Shark products are the incompatibility with IOM products." This may be true for the Zip, but I don't know if that is true for the Jaz. I think that market is still up for grabs. What made people buy a Zip a few years ago when it wasn't compatible with the Syquest or Magneto Optical devices out there? I remember seeing an article in USA Today and was sold. I wasn't about to pay $500 for a 128 MB Magneto Optical drive with $25 disks, and performance wise, the Zip could hold its own. The Zips sold to the technofiles first, but at a general consumer price. I don't understand why Syquest doesn't have an external SCSI device though, and they really seem to be ignoring their following. I'm curious how they are getting prices so low. Would it have been that bad for marketing to slash the Syjet product prices, or was it not possible? Anyone have any ideas about the ratio of SCSI/Parallel drives sold? Still long IOM, but am trying not to become complacent. I did catch some May 22.5 calls this last dip after doubling my shares @ 22.5 during the blip on 10/7. Later Chucky
