Ken, I too was puzzled by your previous optimistic assumptions concerning Flop! and today's pessimstic outlook. Thanks for clearing it up. Also, you said:

Doubt it. Iomega is reportedly not actually making the PCMCIA Flop! drive. Citizen is. Iomega hopes to capitalize on Flop! disk sales, but I think we are realizing that disk tie rates in general for Iomega are disappointing. Michael Coley has been tracking the falling Tie Rates for some time now. I believe that this trend will be even more pronounced with Flop! Flop! disks can be used over and over again (theoretically). Film can't. People willuse their disks over and over again to avoid paying for any more.
