>>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.<< Sony must first gain OEM support from Dell, Compaq, etc. Afterall, they are all competitors to Sony's own PC venture. In addition, Iomega may have some aces up their sleeves. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 200MB Zip if push comes to shove. 15+ million installed Zips will be formidable even for Sony. BTW, are you still short AOL? I was short Yahoo in Feb. Covered that way back at $65. I wonder when these Tulips will be out-of-season. When Yahoo or Amazon splits in the upcoming months, watch out for another 25% appreciation. -Andrew
