>>>In any case, the Clik news was welcome, though I'm not convinced that the drive will contribute more than "niche" interest revenues. Digital camera sales, however are exploding. There might just be something to Clik!.<<<
Enjoyed your thoughts, Phillip. I'm surprised you feel that way about clik!. Personally, I think that between handheld computers and digital cameras, Clik may surpass Zip.
In particular, handheld computers are the sleeper, IMO. The OEM clik! is of a size that nicely fits into a type 3 PCMCIA slot, and I'm sure it's no coincidence that so many of these machines have such a slot.
With the small (read tiny) size of handhelds, the floppy becomes impractical, unless of course you want to lug one around a separate unit...which kind of defeats the purpose of having such a compact machine in the first place.. The Clik drive is made to order, size and capacity wise, for this application.
