Rocky, I follow your lead on the 9GIG hard drive. Ideally, we will all have 1000 GIG hard drives (don't laugh, it could be within the next decade) and the only point of floppies would be backup. I myself have just become a Zip user to backup my data at work (something I must do every day). I tell ya, it was getting tiresome doing 9 3 1/2" disks every day just to keep things safe. I can't wait till I buy my home machine. Its gonna be a G3 and I'm gonna have a Roland system to record my classical guitar, and its gonna fly those great flight simulation games (I am addicted to Falcon 3.0 and Red Barron). But for now, Zip is it. The margins are high, greedy, in fact. I love IOM and since they are based out there with the Mormons (I am myself a descendant of the Church), I kind of feel a kinship. I just hope they don't donate 10% of their profits to LDS :*P (just kidding). -John Long on IOM with stock and options...wish there were LEAPS.
