>>, I would have to say that the wind-up Clik is a good idea although I would modify it for quick start by adding a flywheel and a piece of string. << Actually, a wind-up device to deliver power for electrical devices actually exists. In fact, a couple of months ago I read it was rumored that Apple was considering using one (for about a second) in their new consumer portable computer for the education market. It was to be a miniaturized wind-up power unit made by Citizen. There is currently a radio that uses this wind-up power unit (for remote areas with no power). Here is a link to it: brightok.net

Hi David S et al, was at PC Expo yesterday and spent time at the IOM booth. The place was packed with people and the Clik and ZipCD generated alot of interest. The attendants were very positive about both products. Went to the Castlewood booth.... 3 people were there... attendants were doing zippo, no interest in ORB. Went to AGFA booth; was told a Clik/AGFA Digcam due out in approx 2 months. Sony's Digcam booth was chalk full of people and their cameras looked great. AGFA's display was not as good and not as crowded. Looks like Sony rules with Digcams. Don't have time to read the posts... talk to you soon, SR
