<<<<<The First Montauk analysis on Yahoo isn't bad, but it misses (or ignores) some very big issues. It doesn't discuss: 1. The ZIP can never really replace the floppy because SW isn't distributed on it. 2. In order to replace the floppy, ZIP MUST match floppy's price to OEMs. This will never happen without severly impacting Iomega's bottom line. PC makers are cutting costs like crazy.>>>>> I have to point out why this is two dimensional thinking: 1. When is the last time you found software being distributed on floppy disks? I would not buy a software package with 1.44's because I do not feel like spending an hour loading my new program! (Thinking about SW on 1.44 =Old school mentality) 2. How many 1.44's does it take to = 1-IOM 250MB zip disk? In reality, an IOM ZIP disk holds the same information at a much cheaper cost than 1.44 floppies. Most of the new software on the market carries at least 200MB of data. I have several programs that need between 300-800MB of hard disk space. Good thing I didn't buy the 1.44 floppy version of the program, I would of needed to bring my pick-up just to carry the box home! We really need to think before we post. Ignorance is not a good quality to have in the investment world. Ron Dior
