FREE CD-R DISCS!!! 10 packs of Maxell CD-Rs at Best Buy for $20 with a $20 rebate. THIS EQUALS FREE!!! Is it any wonder that the CD burners at the J&R Computer I was at yesterday were blowing out the door?

Andy, You raise some interesting points. Clearly something to think about. However, of all of these hundreds of millions of older PC's, why would any of the users want to buy a Sony or LS-120 drive that is backwards compatible with a drive they already have? In this case, it is clear to me that backwards compatibility is not a big issue. Regardless, it is clear to me that LS-120 is not selling well vis-a-vis the Zip drive. If as you say, mass production of the LS-120 has been in full gear for less than a year, it still hasn't sold well. Available supply of LS-120 has not been a problem. Regards, Philip
