Rocky, Sony's HiFD has been delayed twice already. Originally slated for Spring of 98, now it's projected release date is "3rd Quarter" (aka 9/98). Seeing as they couldn't even get the drive to work at Comdex, I think Sony will be lucky to get the drive to market by the end of 98. Philip

Rocky , Re>>> HiFi will severely put a dent in Zip sales right off the bat,<<< Yea Rocky , Sony's HiFi VAPOR will ( if they can ever get the bugs out of it ) " severely put a dent in Zip sales right off the bat " Your above statement is a big leap of faith if I ever seen one . Rocky , Sony's HiFi Drive will be obsolete by the time they get the bugs out of it . Iomega will have a 400 meg Zip Drive that will be backward compatible to the 100 Meg Zip by the time that Sony's HiFi Vapor comes available if ever . Herb

What exactly does 2nd half 98 mean? How is it more specifically 3d Quarter? This is being very misleading, I think Clik! is supposed to ship 2d half of 98. I take this to mean before December 31, 1998. When Sony says 2d half 98 for HiFD release, i take it to mean before December 31, 1998. Understand there are no guarantees in either case. JW
