To All , Re:>>Comdex after Shocks<< I attended a local computer club meeting Thursday night for the first time in 6 months . The 2nd person to make a report was a gentleman that attended Comdex in Vagus . The first thing that he did was click a hand held device that took our immediate attention.He then said " I'll bet that you cannot tell me what this is ? (I kept my mouth shut as I knew and didn't want to interrupt him ) He then said " you know all about Iomega's successful product the Zip Drive ? Now they have come out with a very small disk called Clik that holds 40 megs and will be put into cameras and other small devices " He then passed out a number of the Clik noise makers , one of which I took along with a Jaz Freak button , to the group . He then went on to say that Iomega handed out a questionnaire that asked what other uses that the clik could be used for ? My friend said that he suggested that Iomega should engineer the Zip drive to read the clik and then they would have a great product . Needless to say , the group was impressed and if this happened here in Yuma Az . it probably happened in many other cities in the world . Herb

>wonder if perhaps you may recontact the staples guy (the one who either knows alot or is just talking) and ask who will be the first oem to supply them w/ the sony critter. do they currenlty have some on order. does he knows for a fact or is it just his belief. regards< Yes, I will do this, this is exactly the kind of ideas I was looking for. I will go back in the next week or so and ask. Good idea.

>recontact the staples guy< Did this yesterday evening, it was a depressingly waste of time. The guy I spoke to last week wasn't there. When I asked about built-in Zips, he started looking at the machines and said "Do they really?" duh... So maybe the salesman last week just didn't know what he was talking about and the one this week just didn't know anything about anything. I'll keep trying. I am shopping for a PC and plan to call DELL, when I do I will ask about about higher capacity rem drives and what I should plan for. Also: Staples had both Zips and Zip+ and LS120 in stock. The zips definetly stand out as more hip looking FWIW Brian
