RE: Blasting by the Press. Rocky, >> it will be interesting how these facts are dissected and probably blasted by the press. << You forget that Iomega is embarking upon a $100 million advertising campaign. It's amazing how the "unbiased press" changes their views when advertising dollars are at stake. I think the "blasting by the press" is close to an end. - Michael Coley - wwol.com

Rocky, if a AA battery is .256 inches thick, then 2 batteries next to each other are still .256 inches thick and the drive is .256 inches thick = total of .256 inches thick. The batteries don't have to be on top of one another, let them be side-by-side. So, the drive is 3.37 inches long, 2.126 inches wide, and .256 inches thick, add on another 2in x .512in x .256 in and you get a footprint that is 3.37 in x 2.638 in x .256 in. The Palm Pilot is 3x5x.7, 5 times the size of a clik! + batteries (which, btw, the Palm Pilot has some of ANYWAY, yet more re-usable space) Comments? -Spank
