>>From what I was told by someone who uses both Avatar and Zips on notebooks, Avatar's speed is astounding compared to the Zips (difference of 10 minutes vs. 40 minutes). << BF - That someone must have been comparing the parallel port Zip to the Avatar, which uses a PCMCIA IDE interface. ATAPI and SCSI Zips are significantly faster. As for price, Iomega has always stated that their eventual goal was a $99 external Zip. They also said that they would hit that goal only when they had reduced costs to the point where they could sell the drive profitably at that price. I doubt they are losing money on them. - Allen
