I'm breaking my own rule by replying to you and will not respond if you reply to this message but I couldn't resist.

will have Ethernet Standard

This really helps me at home. Hard drives are getting bigger but as internet transfer speeds increase they fill up faster, besides you should always have a second copy of important data.

I notice you finally admit the 3.5" floppy is dead.

the floppy is officially dead

If the floppy is dead why would I want a backward compatible drive ?

Now instead of Syquest, Hifd , CD-RW your saying the ethernet port is going to be the next Zip killer, is this correct ?

Business computers have been shipping for years with built in ehternet ports but they still had 3.5 " floppy. So according to your own words the floppy is dead, what removable storage are you now picking ? If the 3.5 is dead and I don't need a Superdisk that only leaves 1 non-vapor drive.

Options are a floppy, a Superdisc, A Zip, and reportedly the upcoming 2.2 Gig Orb drive.

I'm really trying to follow the logic here .
