>>as good or better than hard drives<< I doubt Zip's reliability is as high as hard drives. Hard drives seem to have excellent reliability today. Zip may be close, but not up to hard drives--removable storage just has more opportunity for problems to occur. Brendan

Reseller, the way IOM stock behaves is enough to make an investor paranoid. Seriously, if I were an attorney who is suing Iomega, I'd pay a legal student to monitor this thread. Something useful might come up. Imagine somebody getting paid to read this stuff. <vbG> Regards Gottfried PS: because the stock of even the best companies is subject to such unforeseeable problems, the only way to guard against it as investors is to diversify. This limits both, your portfolio's downside as well as the upside. Just my humble opinion.
