I noticed that no one has responded to my assertions that Jaz2 is an obscenely overpriced mistake. In my Mac Connection , it is $740 for external. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I saw that, because SyQuest 1.5 Gig SyJet offers "3 Gigs for $300", and an external PP SparQ drive w/disc is $199 with 3-pack extra discs for $99. That's 4 GIGS for $300! The internal version of SparQ just shipped, so that market is now ripe for invasion from SyQuest. By all accounts, SparQ sales are brisk, and it is too bad that production is not that large, because the market is snapping these new drives up as quickly as they make them. Is it blind arrogance, or just bad planning from Iomega that causes them to price Jaz2 at such a lofty level, as well as pricing a 100MB (!) laptop Zip at $300? 100MB for $300? EeeYeah...Right! (in Wayne's World type voice.)
