Hi Rocky.... <Sony evidently also did similar research, which is why Sony HiFi's specs are about twice as fast as Zip's. Iomega Zip is the laggard in capacity, technology, compatibility, AND speed. Sony is gonna put a big hurt on Iomega, plain and simple.> Is there a web site you can direct me to that has this info?? If you know off hand. I'm too tired to hit "search". Thanks, Linda

Rocky, >>Sony evidently also did similar research, which is why Sony HiFi's specs are about twice as fast as Zip's. Iomega Zip is the laggard in capacity, technology, compatibility, AND speed.<< Egads! But, why are they so darned popular? I guess advertising really works. And price compared to Zip? How about installed base? Regards, Philip
