Godzilla had the worst acting I have seen save in porno movies. I see Sony trying to target OEMs, just as Syquest did with its SparQ. I don't see a contradiction of sony box maker selling a product to their competitor. Happens all the time. Like for IOM, its a volume game for Sony. With sales of 95 million PCs per year, IOM's penetration rate is pretty crappy. That is why we are still talking about Superdisk, and Sony HiFD. I think IOM has saturated the retail market so HiFD will have a difficult time penetrating this segment. I think IOM has to reduce the Jaz price to match sparQ. Maybe not today, but next quarter. BL
