William, You post today re: PMA convention is the best post
in a long time. Everyone should follow the link shown:

<<Report from New Orleans PMA convention by HeyKerry of the AOL Fool board:
look.net
>>

We saw a picture of Clik drive posted a few days ago, but it could
have been a CAD drawing. The PMA photos show there is a real
Clik product about to be launched and we are witnessing the birth
of that product right now. In the pictures on the right about
the 5th picture down is the same little blue-gray hand held device
in some adapter caddy and cabled to a port in the front of a PC.
I assume this was a working model/prototype being demoed. I would
hope someone can get a response confirming that is a fact. Was
the photographer snapping pictures of people coming into IOM's
booth with a digital camera connected to a Clik and was he then
showing those pictures loaded into the PC on the table and displayed
on the PC's monitor? The guy giving the report was being too cute
with his sleuthing discussions with other vendors and didn't give
us this basic fact. Maybe he just assumed it was obvious.

So anyone, let's get it straight, there are Clik working models
that were shown or all this was hype of vaporware? We need the
facts even if they were implied in the report.

I for one was quite impressed with this shirtpocket product and wish
they had showed photos of the Clik disks as well. However, my
guess we will be seeing the real thing very soon now.

Regards, David S.
Long on Intel and Iomega

PS: Rockhead, are you up to a trip to Bagdad yet?
