Disk space will matter with Java because information is becoming the new currency and those that lack it will fall behind further every day. Iomega offers solutions which increase the usability and manipualtion of information beyond the current (dying) paradigm. The Clik! offers a solution that will support the explosion of thin-clint (read network computing) revolution. People are sick and tired of making Bill Gates so rich while his stuff continues to crash and is now more expensive than the CPU itself. It is really a shame how outlandish the amount of $ microsoft makes, it hurts people. Oracle and others offer solutions again which take the power away from the CPU/OS and now liberates the organization to do more with less. This is where the Zip and Jaz will be so valuable the disks themselves will become as important as a PC is today. With one click on the campus of Valencia Community College your Zip disk has in effect become your computer. Computer netorks are now expanding to be info-centric thus portable storage devices have a natural allie in the growth of micro-computers (palm pilot, etc)
