I guess the thing that kinda strikes me funny about HIFD is that they sold less than 100 drives. I want to know how much less? 50% less? 80 %? Our dear friend Rocky Reid very well may own 20 % of all HiFD drives in existance. The funny thing is probably every single drive sold was to an IOM short who hates this company with such a passion they marched down to Comp USA to buy the "Iomega Killer" since they can no longer tout Syquest or Avatar or even Nomai. Their dearly beloved HiFD that they touted with much pomp and circumstance as being the undeniable Champion of removable storage merely withers before their eyes. Heads down and defeated, betrayed once again. I wonder if they will beat up on Sony now? I imagine that the thing that will really give them ulcers is when they know that everytime they but media for their Syquest drive, it is IOM that that they are paying. Well, their is still Castlewood to hype but I have a sneaking hunch IOM has them in thier cross hairs and the finger is one the triger.

FWIW I dont really think it is time to call HiFD dead yet, I have seen ads in catalogs for media for it and I would think Sony will keep trying to get it right. Has HiFD been launched in Japan and if so when? How sucessful has it been there? They very well could have a thriving domestic market for this product while it remains a no show here.

Regards,
Jeff
