<<That's more important than the OEM vs. bundle debate, IMO.>> You'll get no debate from me on this topic: I have conceded it is a bundle. My point is this: When Fujitsu bundled the Syquest drive, it was because Syquest gave the damned things away. There was never any indication that the drive would be included as an internal unit in any Fujitsu product. Syquest was dumping the product. When Compaq bundled the Shark with their Armadas there was no indication that the drive would be included as an internal unit in any Compaq product. Both drives had been on the market for some time prior to being included in their respective bundles. The Clik! is new. It has not shipped at all. It certainly is not being dumped, as the other products were. Clearly Compaq and In Focus have seen and evaluated the Clik! Iomega has an existing OEM relationship with both partners involved. This is clearly a fairly decent endorsement of Rocky's "vapor."
