<<The real worry isn't little Nomai, but a bigger player like Syquest who could start spitting out Zip clone discs in much larger numbers than little Nomai. Syquest also has much better brand recognition than anyone else, save Iomega. How does this possibility grab you-- "Now On Sale At CompUSA...Syquest Z-Disc 100MB discs."? >> How are they going to make these disks? Only Iomega and Noumai own machines that can make zip disks. Iomega has a judgement agreement with the manufacturer of these machines (which are also patented) not to sell to anyone besides Iomega w/o Iomega's permission. Noumai's capacity is 10 million disks per year with the machines they already have. Disk sales are expected to increase from 100 million to 200 million this year. 1. Noumai, even if they sell all of their disks, will have a very little impact on Zip disk sales. 2. No one else can purchase a Zip disk making machine. Therefore, they won't be able to make any. Therefore, they won't be able to sell any. Mike
