Sorry if this has been posted before: go2.guardian.co.uk <Analysts at International Data Corporation in Massachusetts say the market for superfloppy drives will grow. They expect the drives to be pre-installed in 60 per cent of all the PCs sold in 2000, and in 96 per cent in 2001, compared with just 8 per cent last year. Iomega's response - from European managing director Kevin O'Haire, based in Geneva - is that "we're back to business as usual". The company also dismisses the competition: "We don't consider SyQuest a competitor," he says. "It's just another storage manufacturer trying to survive." The performance of the SuperDisk is, he says, "somewhat anaemic". As for Sony, "certainly we're interested in what they're offering," O'Haire says, "but our customer research didn't say they wanted a 200-megabyte drive that was slow." Even in the superfloppy market, it seems, size is not everything.> Cute last sentence..... Linda
