aC: "Which compatibility is more important is easy to answer..." It's been sounding to me that you think floppy compatibility is more important because more floppy drives are sold than Zip drives. I would bet that if every computer sold was configured to customer's desires, then a lot more boxes with Zip drives would be going out the door. Joe/Jane Six-Pack might opt to buy a box with a floppy rather than Zip because they recognize the brand, but if the sales guy says "choose a $19 floppy that won't hold very much useful stuff (given today's applications) or a $60 Zip that's big enough to store most anything and everyone's getting them" then I bet they'd take the Zip. I think your argument that floppy drives outsell Zip drives is weak. Sure, more is more, but customers are seeking out the Zip and being given the floppy. -Spank
