RE: Technical savvy Allen, You're welcome about the vote of confidence. You've earned it, as have many others here. Your name was just the first one of the bunch that came to mind as I was writing. Consider it your fifteen minutes of fame. <g> We're agreed that technical sweetness isn't the sole determinant of success or failure. Let's not all revisit the Sony Beta discussion any more. Still, I trust the technical sophisticates on the monitoring of new products more than others in most cases, because they wander the halls of the corporate buyers, read the computer magazines, work as resellers, troll around at Comp USA, and so on, on top of their contributions to the purely technical analysis of the product. Perhaps I should have said "savvy PC industry insiders" instead of categorizing my reference group here as mere technical sophisticates. Sorry for the confusion, one and all. Boy, am I surprised that profit-taking didn't hold down the price this morning. There's some heavy buying going on out there. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)

Zip Connector Question I got an ISA Jaz Jet SCSI controller and a Zip plus last week, but I haven't been able to connect the Zip to the controller. The Jaz Jet has a 50-pin high-density female connector, and the Zip includes a cable which has a regular 25-pin male connector. I couldn't find the right converter in the local Micro Center, so I ordered a 50-pin to 25-pin converter (in the Iomega section of products) over the net. Unfortunately, the 50-pin side is a larger (low density) connector than what I need. Where can I find a converter for 50HD->25? This seems like such a common, simple thing, yet I can't find one!
