>>If I were you I'd forget about Clik! products. Flash memory is the wave for cameras. I just hope that they don't get so good at making it that it replaces floppies.<< There are already floppy-adaptors for Flash Cards. Just pop your Flash Card into the floppy caddy and put it in your computer floppy drive. Your computer can then read the data off the Flash Card no problem. If you are going to buy an iMac, simply pop the Flash caddy into your external Sony HiFi drive, since it is floppy-compatible. No problem. These Flash caddies retail for about $89, or so I hear. The fact is, Flash prices are crashing, and any cost benefits Vapor! has to offer will be nullified within the time it would take to incorporate it in any OEM's. This ignores the fact that Intel is ready to introduce another leap in Flash Technology, and it will once again radically drop the prices of Flash Cards. Also, my prediction is that the recent Kodak/Intel partnership will result in Intel selling Kodak this new technology and slapping a Kodak label on it (with an "Intel Inside!" sticker, of course).
