Re: Net Top boxes and Iomega

I just finished checking out the product offerings in the web pages you referred to. Oddly, most of the products include no provisions for any kind of storage. A couple of them make mention of the Zip drive as a possible add-on. The Coollogic line includes Zip drives as standard in one model and optional in all others.

Most of the products do have parallel ports, which means that users could attach storage devices that way, but this would require software support which might or not be forthcoming.

I'd have to say that an internet device without any kind of storage seems rather stupid to me. But then, a person who would buy this kind of device is a person who doesn't think they way I do. Such a person might not care about storage.

It does strike me that Zip and/or Clik! might work well in these devices.
