Rocky, How about addressing all your predictions and pronouncements about DVD being the Zip/IOM killer before carrying on about Sony vaporware. Allen, Frank, and some the other techies did an excellent job of trying to explain it to you back then, and here they are again trying to help you see through the fog of this vaporware. I'm not sure that even an Ann Sullivan would be able to get through to you.

Did you even notice the news posted about Toshiba's miscalculation on DVD?

Rocky: "Zip is compatible with only other Zips--an installed base
of around 2%-3% of newer computers"

Umm, and exactly what percentage of newer computers is the HiFD
drive installed in? What is it's current base?

-Spank

(btw, who WOULDN'T want a Zip drive?)
