>>ZIP standard in every Compaq Presario,<<
A misstatment of fact right off the bat, I see. Zip is to be only available in the 7 most expensive out of 13 Presario models. I guess 7 out of 13 does happen to be a majority, but cannot be considered a "Standard", especially when it RELACES NOTHING. It can easily be dropped off of the package list simply by unchecking the box and saving an extra $100 or so off the purchase of a new Presario.
>>The ZIP and JAZ are both considered standards in the music industry and no other removeable media has been included in such devices, than those made by IOMEGA.<<
Wrong. Simply, and absolutely, Wrong.
Roland, possibly the largest maker of electronic musical equipment in the world, officially endorses the use of Syquest Syjet. Roland used to supply Jaz drives, but dropped them due to unreliability. This situation is well-known. The Roland mailing list I subscribe to is replete with horror stories of musicians losing complete album's worth of songs due to Iomega's Jaz. As a result, almost everyone there uses and recommends Syjet as a removable hard drive.
Also, the Sony Minidisc is Standard equipment in Tascam multitrack digital recorders. These recorders record data directly to a built-in Sony Data Minidisc. They are very popular and relatively inexpensive little systems.
And PC Cards are still found on a majority of Keyboards and rack units, due to their ruggedness and small size.
The standard floppy drive comes installed in the majority of Samplers.
The Akai Sampler line has models that feature a Sony MO drive.
In fact, seeing an Iomega drive installed in anything is a very uncommon thing in the music industry.
So, you are either ignorant about the music industry's use of removable media, or are lying.
