Imation's Newest CD-RW Drive Announced! biz.yahoo.com Imation Introduces New CD-RW 8x2x20 Super Recorder New Offering Is One of the Fastest CD-RW Drives Available NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 1999-- Imation Corp. (NYSE:IMN - news) today announced the Imation CD-RW Super Recorder 8x2x20, one of the fastest CD-RW desktop recorder bundles available. The drive records at 8X speed, allowing users to burn a disc in as fast as nine minutes. Plus, it provides the added flexibility to work with CD-R or CD-RW discs. ------ Iomega is late to the party. Imation has been selling CD-RW dries for a while now. And their newest offering is faster burning CD-R (8x) than Iomega's. I burn a lot more CD-R than CD-RW disks, so this is the drive for me. If I didn't already have 2 personal CD-RW drives and 3 more at work to choose from, I might buy it. Welcome to the wonderful world of low-margin pure-commodity products, Iomega. Hope these CD sales don't put any dent in your Zip or Jaz sales. If so, any profits you hope to make in the future are going to get torpedoed.

HI EVERYONE, I haven't jumped ship.. just vacationing in Long Island with my daughter and have to go to the Med Library to post. Great news today about CD Zip Drives. With the ZIP brand name this optical product should do very well. I will be attending PC expo on Wed. Hope to see some of you there at the IOM booth. I'm bringing my camera and will try to get some photos for the net. If anyone will be there Wed please send me a PM and hopefully we could meet. SR
