<< Where's this instant demand going to come from? >> << Sony needs major demand to get in the game >> If it is as cost effective as a floppy, it's a no lose proposition from the PC box makers standpoint. They can just drop this drive in instead of the floppy, and BINGO! nothing lost. Right now, they lose ~$50 per PC they sell with a ZIP because they have to include both a floppy and a ZIP. (remember, Sony said that the drive would cost 'about the same' as the current floppies. or at least 'competitive with'.) Sony WILL sell these drives at a loss to gain this market. AND the demand is all the floppy drives that are currently going into PCs. FACT: I look in the paper, and still don't see PCs with ZIPs in them FACT: Iomega is running out of time kp
