Rockhead,

HiFD is DOA. Like it or not this is reality. IMO, you continue to demonstrate a total lack of understanding of the removable media industry and market. You have been wrong with respect to IOM every step of the way. Why doesn't surprise me that you see HiFD as a threat to IOM?? HiFD's compatability with and an old industry standard which is quickly be phased out by ZIP (for transfering data) and CD-ROMS (for software distribution) is a complete non-issue just like it was for LS120. What you call a major selling point I call a big yawn. Yawn, yawn, yawn. Any removable media drive in the 100-200 meg range that is not compatible with the nearly 11,000,000 ZIP's already installed is DOA. Watch and learn.

BTW, I love my notebook ZIP....you know, the product that the bears said would never exist.

Now go suck some cold-eeze <gggg>.
