OT - I think it will be interesting to see what impact may result from the growing wave of new PCs that do not include floppies. I wonder which drive folks will pick to add to their system: the flexibility of Imation and HiFD drives or the industry standard Zip. Without a floppy as standard, there could be renewed interest in the flexible option. I also wonder if the new PCs will serve to increase overall sales of removables. I suspect it will, but even if it doesn't, perhaps margins will improve as a result of increasing retail sales. Regards - Dale
