All, I got this message (see quote below) from a friend and wondered if Iomega offers any "trade-in" programs for users of other removable storage devices? "It just occured to me how Iomega could get my attention: offer a trade-in program for all removable-media drives (such as Syquest 44/88/200/Flyer, old Bernoulli boxes, magentic-optical drives, etc) and receive credit towards a new Iomega drive ($50 off a Zip drive, $100 off a Jaz drive). Now that would be the incentive for me to switch over." Tom

>>Does anyone know if a ZIP drives read/write heads touch the disk surface??? Does the Clik's read/write head touch the suface as well???????<< Cheeky - Iomega has never produced any drive having heads which made contact with the surface. I see no reason to expect Clik! to be different. Hmmm. As of right now, I am going to stop using the ! when I write Clik. The cutesy spelling is enough, without using superfluous punctuation. Fine for a logo, but not for casual typing. - Allen
