<<<So with 72 minutes of audio that actually sounds worse than mini-cassette, you have to pay $10 with Clique. Meanwhile, you get 3 hours for the same price of better quality audio if you use mini-cassette. Plus, the player is far cheaper and easier to use, uses less power, has a built-in mic and speaker, and can be dragged through the hell that is my life.>>>

Rocky, You just don't seem to get it, I am going to try to help you.

1. No matter how good (I don't think they are good) your every little argument is, the bottom line is not what you or I think but what people buy. Example, you don't like Zip but people are buying more of them every day. That is why IOM is over 30 now instead of single digits.

2. If you insist on fighting the trend you will lose more than you win.

3. It seems like you don't like proprietary items and want to discredit them at any cost. With the pressure that companies have to produce high earnings in today's market, you will see more and more items that you "must" fight. See number 2 above. And besides that, if you defeat the Zip from becoming standard whatever takes is place will also be proprietary, so what have you gained?

4. Cover while you still have your *ss.
