RE: LS-120 Spotting - Great Story! I just got off the phone with a close friend who is a computer support specialist. He knows of my interest in Iomega, so he had to tell me this story of the first LS-120 that he's seen in a client's computer: The computer is a brand new Gateway G6/300 with DVD, an LS-120, and GET THIS, a 3 1/2" 1.44M A: drive. It was manufactured in 12/97. The guy was complaining about his LS-120 drive though, because it wouldn't read his disks. Guess what his disks were? Zip disks! Three things to get out of this story: 1) My friend works with hundreds of clients, and this is the first LS-120 he's seen in a machine. 2) The machine STILL had a 3 1/2" 1.44M drive, which the LS-120 supposedly replaces. 3) The guy had Zip disks already. I got quite a kick out of it! - Michael Coley - wwol.com
