jwk and ALL, <All -- Just for a bit of historical perspective I would like to remind everyone that way back when IOMG was getting its first few oem's, the bears were going on and on about two indisputable facts: DELL, COMPAQ, and Gateway would NEVER EVER oem Zips, and Zips wouldNEVER EVER be accepted in a business environment.

Other bear facts back then included extensive posting saying that almost no one needed a whooping 100 megs on a removeable disk. Bears said things like, " Why I've been using computers for 20 years and I've never needed anything like that, so no one else ever will either."

As always, past errors do not mean that the bears can't be right about IOM's products this time.>

I wanted desperately to go to early 1996 posts (but, they do not exist in archives....only in my cluttered, frail mind)... In order to show some of the newer posters how the bear cries are the same growls.....

Does anyone happen to know how to retrieve OLD POSTS???

Just getting a little sleepy watching the price..ZZZzz...Don't really have anything meaty to add at this moment....
