I'll declare it (LS-120) dead!

ZIP set the standard. The trouble will come in when the sony thing
costs less than a ZIP + FLOPPY combo. This is LS-120s fatal flaw
(plus it is so slow)

The sony device will correct these two flaws.. BUT it's still 2
quarters away. Your shares should be safe until then.

<On another note, can we finally say the LS-120 is officially dead? I think so (but then I knew it was DOA, dammit).>

One point of interest that suprised me.... Talked to a Fujitsu notebook rep today. Found out that there new 233mz 900 series notebook has a LS-120 as an option. Asked about Zips, and he said none at this time. The 900 series notebook is not shipping yet.

My take on this issue: Fujitsu made a major blunder.
