*** OT *** >>>Syqt was superior...unfortunately, they had lousy PR....just like AAPL vs MSFT.<<<

Actually I think Syquest's PR was OK. They were caught with their pants down when the Zip came out of the blue. They tried to compete with revised designs that didn't address the market. Their hardware was too expensive, yet they persisted in selling it under cost while trying to make money on the disks. In the end it was not certain that they could afford to keep the quality up. Consequently, their superiority was lost.

True, Iomega had problems with Zip and Jaz units for a while - they have have since turned that around.
