I have one thought about the advertising, I'm in favor of that. Advertising is a fact of life.
Sheila - I agree 100%. The recent spate of articles and reviews makes clear that there will be a high capacity replacement for the floppy. At the moment, the Zip is the clear front-runner, but there are alternatives that are getting better reviews and apparently are being offered as options. I'm pleased to see that IOM is not assuming that their installed base of 13 million drives guarantees that they will be victors, and are taking the steps necessary to ensure that more and more PC buyers add a Zip, regardless of whether they know whether they'll use it. Then, when the OEM's compare the demand for the different removable storage options in order to determine which becomes the standard, the decision should make those of us who continue to hold IOM very happy.
