>>BTW, if and when Sony's HiFD comes out, say goodnight to Imation.<< I agree. Also, say good bye to Iomega. You can bet that Sony HiFi drives will be Standard equipment right off the bat with Sony computers. Its 200MB capacity, faster performance, and backwards compatibility with floppy put it head and shoulders above Zip in every way. If they can bring it out at a price point competitive with Zip, Iomega will be toasted worse than that Intel dancing dude in the Apple G3 commercial.
