>> In addition, The new Vapor! 40 MB mini-drive is already turning out to be dead-on-arrival, and now we
have word that there is a direct competitor to boot? Who is this mystery outfit? <<

I'm having almost as much trouble following this as I did with the he/she thing. Let's see....Click! is vapor and IOM embarrassed itself with its rude and disgraceful flaunting (marketing) of it at Comdex (a techtrash sleez fest). And, not only is Click! vapor, but DOA vapor because of a rumor of an unannounced, unknown product from an undisclosed company. Hmmm?

On top of that, I'm told I should open my mind and forget yesterday's extended conversation with the techgeek from a large firm whose response to my general question about his firm's removeable storage use would have made a great testimonial advertisement for IOM? A little over a year ago, it was standard bear breath that real companies would never even use IOM products.... let alone be well satisfied with them. Now that that prediction is obviously untrue, I should close my mind to the first hand accounts of a heavy Zip/Jaz user and take the word of an unkown poster in an open forum thread?

At least the mountain is getting some much needed snow today, and the hordes will be gone on Monday. For a simple minded ski bum, trying to follow the logic of the local thread bears is tougher than skiing the crap that has been passing for snow lately .
