Reseller,

I am really eager to see what develops with clik!. I think that this type of product, small, may end up being the real story in the future. If clik! delivers, it may be a bigger story than Zip.

I think that if the capacity of the smaller drive can be "tweaked" in the future it makes a very compelling argument to become a legitimate contender for the new standard. One small drive module that can be interchanged between a wide array of devices...portables, pcs, handhelds, digital cameras, cell phones. Plus the disks selling for a fraction of the cost of a Zip disk. A lot of folks would give up a little capacity for this type of flexibility and economy. The diskettes even become a viable option for software distribution.

Bigger isn't always better (ask Godzilla). The trend in electronics and appliances has always been smaller packages (miniaturization) with the same or more features. And if this comes to pass with clik! IOM is a position to "reward" its' 20 million Zip owners (near future) with a "discounted" entry (like a software upgrade) to the new product.

Being in the sales game, what do you think?
