Hey bateh, I did a little investigation yesterday at my local computer shop. I found some interesting stuff. I saw piles of Jaz and Zip stuff. I saw a fair amount of Syquest. I saw zero LS-120... 1) I think Syquest is dead in the water. They can't turn a profit now so when things get a little tough, they will go under. 2) Zip and Jaz are steady, although not flying off the shelf. The only thing that worries me is Imation's deep pockets. They can afford years of losses to win the game. The backwards compatibility to a 3 1/2 is really great, and their quality control has always been excellent. I have always preferd 3M (now Imation) disks to any others on the market. What does everyone think about this situation? Can Imation pull it off this late in the game? One thing that worries me is that the LS-120 can fit a notebook. Is there a Zip drive that can fit a laptop yet, will there be? Can anyone who has studied some Econ tell me what a pure numbers crunch would say about this situation? Just call me, the Nervous Investor...
