Hi, Cameron -

> >>My concern, though, is that if SyQuest, which used to dominate the removable storage market, is able
to significantly and repeatedly one-up Iomega on technology issues at reasonable price points, then the
tables might be turned once again.<<

Certainly a valid concern. SyJet appears to beat the Jaz on most counts, from a technical standpoint. The
announced Rocket drives are so much higher-end that they would begin to create a whole market segment
of their own.<

Not that I would want to alleviate the fears in any way, but I think you guys are having a problem seeing the forest for the trees. Jaz is not the big enchilada. We must keep our eye on the ball. The game for Iomega is becoming the replacement for the floppy. Now, if you feel that the technology behind this new Syquest product could lead it to come out with a potential replacement for the floppy, please, please let me know. That will make my day:)
