Rocky, I dunno. You say LS-120 external unit for $99 after $50 dollar rebate. I say Jaz 2GB kit plus 3 disks and carring case for $999 and no stupid rebate to deal with... (From Macwherehouse catalogue) Lets assume your LS-120 comes with a disk. I have 6 GIGS of storage, you have 120MBs for 1/10 the price. This works out to 6MB of data storage per dollar for Jaz and 1.2MB of storage per dollar for the LS-120. Lets not forget that the LS-120 is so sloooooooooooooow and the Jaz2 is so fast you can play a movie in full screen with stereo sound. This means that the Jaz 2 drive is about a 5X better deal than any silly LS-120, not counting the fact that the LS-120 is not capable of doing some of the work a Jaz can. Can anyone prove otherwise? -John
