OT Rocky, I don't know if it's intentional on your part, but it's "HiFD", not "HiFi." Regards - Dale

>>> Hold out for a bit longer before buying. When Sony HiFi is released, all incompatibility issues will be laid to rest. <<<< Sounds like Sony is just about to win the removeable market war. I assume their drive and 200mb disks will be proprietary. I also am aware that SONY is a big company that makes lots of stuff. But, if they are just about to lay all incompatibilty issues to rest, then it seems that their bottom line is also to be somewhat enhanced. I mean, the removeable media market is projected to be huge. So Lumpy, I know you used to tout SYQT products here with almost as much zeal as you put into celebrating the soon to be here SONY stuff (which, even though I can't go buy one today, is somehow real and not vapor) -- will you also be investing in SONY in some form i.e. stock or calls? If SONY is so huge that hifud rev's won't affect earnings enough to boost the stockprice, I have to wonder why they are even bothering to bring it to market.

>>Hold out for a bit longer before buying. When Sony HiFi is released, all incompatibility issues will be laid to rest>> If that's the case then: -Will Sony's drive help stabilize Asia's economy? -Will Sony's drive help us find out if there is other life forms out there? -Will Sony's drive help address today's enviornmental problems? stop the growth of the ozone whole, put an end to elneno (sp?) -Will Sony's drive put a Republican in the White house, finally? -Will Sony's drive help Kenneth Starr get to the truth? And nothing but the truth! -Will Sony's drive put an end to the constant nonsense that posters on this thread are accustomed to deal with from an individual who has zero money invested in IOM, yet, accounts for +70% of the posts generated each day?

There appears to be a bit of confusion regarding Macs in general, and "superdrives" in particular. "Superdrive" is Apple's 3.5" 1.44mb floppy diskette drive. The one in all their systems. Desktops and laptops. Apple called their floppy the "Superdrive" because it has a motorized disk ejection feature, unlike a standard 3.5" floppy drive found in PCs. Apple's "SUperdrive" has been around for at least 5 years. Apple's "Superdrive" is NOT a variant of the LS-120 "Superdisk." Apple is NOT putting "Superdisk" drives in ANY of their systems. Quite the contrary; until the USB version (just announced) hits the streets, there is not a single "Superdisk" that is compatible with the Mac OS. There are no drivers for it.
