Rocky,

>Looks like the LS-120 is creeping up on Iomega. There have been reports of Superdisc sales anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 million units sold. And this with little marketing. Iomega is going to get its ass kicked in the laptop department when laptop LS-120 comes out, especially since laptop Zips cost $300. One space that handles both floppies and Ls-120 discs will be a boon to the computer geek on the go.<<

Don't forget that as with Iomega, Imation will either have to design seperate and distinct laptop LS-120 drives for each laptop OEM, or have someone else do it. You can bet that the laptop LS-120 drives will probably be as or more expensive than the laptop Zip.

You can't be serious--unless space is an issue the Zip is wholly better than the LS-120. Plus, the LS-120 has the huge disadvantage of incompatibility with Zip. Everyone already has a 3.5" drive, and for new computers they're like $15. Laptops are the ONLY place the LS-120 has any use. LS-120 is going nowhere fast.
