>>The real question is what makes you speak with such certainty about a product which has not been announced, and which in fact hasn't even been a rumor up to now, as far as I'm aware.<< Allen and all: Sorry for letting it read that way without appropriate qualification. I've been thinking about actions that could take the Zip to true industry status and came up with this approach. I should have qualified it as an idea rather than using it as a stone to throw at the Rock.. Please accept my apology.. Vaughn

Allen, You and others need to see Steve Goff's post #42369 from a few days ago (Jan. 4). Most didn't get it because he failed to outline its significance. It's a link to an on-line map of a big November '98 conference called PMA. My guess that means Photographic Manufacturers Association. Anyways, its the floor plan, and the biggest exhibitors near the front are naturally the likes of Kodak, Fuji, Agfa, Canon, and a few others. The second tier of upfront big exhibits are: IOMEGA, Adobe and then Hewlett Packard (with about half the space of IOMEGA). IOM also has the premier position at the entrance to the exhibits. Now what are they doing there so prominantly just 10 months from now - showing VAPORWARE. So give Vaughn a break whether he knows something about 40 MB Zip or Clik disks and drives or not. IOM knows something they haven't told us and a big splash is obviously planned. So heads up. Cheap 40 MG 2x2 disks & drives are on the way into all sorts of products including cameras. Don't doubt it for a moment. Regards, David S. Long on Intel and Iomega
