Ken:
I posted about a year ago that the clik (N-hand at the time) wouldn't make it, and they'd never release it in November like KE promised. I got flamed big time for that comment. Well, they didn't release it in November...they only had a non-working "demo" behind plexiglass at COMDEX. I didn't see a market for it then, especially when taking into account the falling prices of solid state devices. There's certainly no market for it now. It sure would have been a cool product to have, though! I would have bought one, just because it would have been so cool.
(The clik is too tiny...it is such a delicate instrument, you can't have people shoving dirty disks in and out of it, and have it run reliably. Solid state devices are much faster and much more reliable.)
Sam
P.S. Ok fire away!
