>>Presumably, everyone with a Zip disk, whether it was the first ever purchased or the last, would want to download it. Built into this Tools/driver software is somthing that makes ALL Zip drives respond negatively to any non IOM disks<< Not everyone who buys a Zip drive is a brainwashed Iomaniac. The hope that 11,000,000 Zip drive owners will take the time out of their busy lives to download some insignificant code off of Iomega's web page, just to make sure that Iomega gets all their disc-buying money, is asking a bit much. Generally, people like making choices between competing companies. In fact, Nomai is actually a hero in this whole scenario, since they are taking on the lead role in David vs. Goliath. Little Nomai is bravely facing off against a monopolistic company, with only little discs as its weapons. This has the giant Iomega shaking in its boots. Perhaps this whole event will play out like it should in the world court, and demonstrate once and for all that Monopolistic practices will NOT be tolerated. Get ready to line up and buy those 30% cheaper Nomai discs. They will work in ALL of your current drives.
