>>And I'm telling you the superdisk is going to blow IOM away. Thats a fact.<< We've been over this issue over and over again... While the LS-120 is better for notebook users, it has NO advantage for desktops. 1) A Zip + Floppy is still cheaper than LS-120. 2) ATAPI Zip is ~4x faster than LS-120. 3) There are 12+ million Zips installed versus <2 million LS-120. 4) Have you ever seen an external LS-120 drive? Those things must weigh over 2 lbs! In conclusion, why would anyone want something that is slower, less compatible with other users, and less available at retail? BTW, if and when Sony's HiFD comes out, say goodnight to Imation. -Andrew
