>>IOM had better come out quickly (i.e., NOW) with a way to transfer data to a Clik! disk using a Zip drive if they want this one to catch on.<< I couldn't agree with you more. We have been stating the need for a Zip / Clik! 'Caddy' ever since the N-Hand days, and at one point it looked like they were going to provide one. Only to say later that it wasn't feasible. IMO without a simple, inexpensive method for interfacing the Zip and Clik! drives, Clik! will be relegated to the non-profitable pile along with other good, but not cost effective or high demand products like the Buz. I for one would hate to see that happen. There are too many possible uses for the Clik! in notebooks, PDAs, Handheld computers, MP3 machines, Cell Phones, etc. to let it wither on the vine because it would be too costly for an individual to transfer data to and from PCs. From what I've read, we can expect a big push next year from Matsushita and their Flash memory cards. If IOM doesn't grab the public's and industry's attention soon, it could be too late. BTW, you lost me with your quote this time.
