cRock! >Wrong. Fuji has the most experience with the Fuji ATOM media, and it is a partnership between Sony and Fuji.< Big difference between producing media and producing drives in mass quantity that use the media. Iomega has the most experience with producing drives for this media. Period! >You can do without having a dedicated 1.44 floppy drive and still be able to re-use the hundreds of AOL floppies that fall out of your mailbox every month using the HiFi.< Sorry I just through them in the trash were they belong. Floppies are just too darn slow and unreliable to put up with. I could care less about compatibility with the floppy and I don't think I'm alone here. >This is not Imation we're talking about. Sony is a multi-billion dollar international conglomerate that can push its way into the market with great force. All it needs is a great product to back up the marketing effort, and Sony HiFi is it. Faster than Zip. 100% more capacity than Zip. Compatible with floppies. Mind you, we are not talking about Sony Minidisk, an inferior product whose specs I have trashed in the past. This new HiFi drive looks to be a winner in every way over Zip.< Actually Sony brings a fair number of still-born products to market. Zip has a huge amount of support and every office I go to I see them in action. The only thing that has really held Iomega back is production and lack of a second source. These problems are fading and more and more machines will have them. >BTW, the Vapor! shipping date has yet to be announced. Iomega has said "second half of 1998." This could mean literally anywhere from July 1 1998 to Dec. 31 1998. Talk about a lame duck product. This has to be a major blow to Vapor! devotees.< Oh cRock!, Clik! will be there and it will be big. Iomega has done their homework on this one cRock!. cRock!, HP is making a big deal about their printers not needing a compter anymore to print graphics and the like. How do you think pictures and the like will get to these printers cRock!? Devices like Clik are what HP is counting on to make their smart printers computer independent. Clik! is coming cRock! Catch ya' later cRock! Frank
