RE: Cult

I agree. And it is amazing the amount of cult following one can witness in Usenet about the not-yet-released Castlewood Orb and Sony HiFi. There are people all over Usenet saying they are holding out before buying storage until these drives come to market. Because of the nightmares associated with Iomega's "Customer Support" and Zip's Click of Death, many people await better solutions than what is on the market right now.

The Iomega cult may continue after Sony HiFi comes out. But it will remain just that. A cult. The Standard is to be Sony HiFi 200MB w/backward compatible floppy support. Just the thing a new iMac owner needs to share files of every size. It is a waste to turn in an 85k Wordperfect file on a $13 Zip disc. And, numerous College Textbooks come with floppy discs inside. The floppy is still needed, and Sony HiFi delivers it. The iMac just shot Iomega's Zip in the face.
