Ken, Glad to see you back posting. I sure missed your excellent posts. Sure, it's hard to fight ghost products - but these things keep coming and the shorts takes full advantage of them. If you are correct that IOMG already knew about the UHC floppy technology before developing the Zip, I would feel very good about the Zip 100 's chance vs. the Mitsumi/Swan drive. The word "standard" is being used quite loosely nowaday. Compag and Imation talked often about establishing LS120 as the new floppy standard, and no one yet seen the LS120 in stores. Now Mitsumi/Swan is talking about establishing their UHC drives/disks as new floppy standard - and they have yet to introduce the drive, much less having it on the market to compete with Zip and LS120. When it boils down to it, I believe IOMG 's great management team will be the deciding factor for Zip to win in this race. So far, they are ahead of everyone by several miles in a 10-mile race and show no sign of slowing down. However, I think the stock price will suffer for a while -- until investors are sure that great sale and revenue growth is still intact -- which may take a couple of great quarterly reports. Young
