Agree with you that a secondary i/o drive is rational, but I am not sure most consumers would still not see a benefit to having a floppy and an LS120, rather than a floppy and a Zip. Is there some drawback to an LS120? My question is if the Dell's and Compaq's, who are now putting Zip's in the top line models may ultimately switch to the LS120 technology. I don't know, but neither am I convinced the LS120 can be easily dismissed. Thanks for your response. I hope we can generate some more discussion about this issue. BTW the recent Fortune edition has a nice article about Clik - not overly optimistic about it - apparently a number of companies are evaluating it, but the article seems to focus on concerns about ruggedness and suviving the "drop test" for cameras and like products. The market is still not really there for Clik, from my read of the article. Anyone have any differing perspectives?
