RE: Buz at Comdex Joel, You can be sure that there'll be working Buz units at Comdex. Iomega had them at PC Expo in NYC last June. The problem with the delay isn't that they couldn't get the basic unit to work, it was that they didn't have the installation down for all the bazillions of configurations of PCs out there. You can bet the farm that they have them working just fine on their own equipment, though, and that they'll be showing that to everyone at Comdex. Do you really think that a cautious, conservative CEO like KE would let PC Connection run a full-page ad for a product that they still didn't have working models for? No way. This product is beyond the development stage and is in the final stages of innovation (i.e., introduction into the marketplace in production quantities). Mind you, those final stages are sometimes a lot of work and very time- consuming, but they won't get in the way of the Comdex demos. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
