Mel,
Thanks for the news. i didn't know that the testers found Nomai disks to be equivalent of IOM disks. Oh. well. may be the quality standards there are not as high as USA. But even assuming that Nomai will be allowed to sell Zip clones, i don't consider them as big threat. They are more of a pain. that's all. IOMEGA might add some more tricks in their new Zip drives and make it incompatible with Nomai drives. IOM can match the price of Nomai and if they do, who will take the risk of buying from Nomai. If Nomai can sell at $6-7/disk, IOM can do even better than that. It is high time Zip disk prices also go down now that drive prices have come down a lot. I think $10/disk is expensive and this will drive IOM to be more efficient and cut prices. Remember, PC prices have always gone down but CPQ and DELL are making more and more money.

Anyway, i am ready to watch the whole game and not bothered about some occasional sacks. IOM's score keeps going up and up on the board.
