Zip "about to be smoked by the SparQ"
Saw this article link (originally posted by jach on the Syquest thread):

San Jose Mercury News 2/7

"'Removable storage' is zipping along"

sjmercury.com;

Dale -

I notice that the article does keep Zip at the top of each of its lists, and does say that it's the right choice if you're interested in sharing disks with your friends.

For people who want removable storage to use for backups and supplemental storage, I agree with the author that SparQ is the best deal around. Very hard to argue against. The only question about it is whether SyQuest can stay in business. If I were just now shopping for my first removable, and my main purpose was for backup, I'd probably take the chance and buy a SparQ drive.

Actually, it makes sense to have a SparQ for backup and supplemental storage, and a Zip for sharing files with others.
