Bill, This is good news and bad. The good news is that my calculations are the same as theirs with my estimate of 80 million high capacity drives being sold in the year 2,000. The bad news is (like they said in the article) that there is not enough space in the laptop and notebook arena for 2 drives which means that backwards compat- ability with the 3 1/2 disk is imperative. This is Iomega's "Achilles Heel". Iomega must convince the manufacturers to install a Zip drive and I think that will be hard given that customers might just want to install some files from the 3 1/2 inch disks they have at home. Iomega could pull it off but it would take some excellent negotiation and some big commitments on the part of software and hardware makers. What does anyone else think about this??? -John
