>>Can anyone on this board please define the word "vapor" that is used so frequently bay a poster of this thread? Is "vapor" any product that has been touted but has not yet been marketed?<< Thomas - That's right. "Vapor" and "Vaporware" are terms used in the computer industry to describe products which have been announced but not shipped. Some people think it's clever to refer to Iomega's announced product, Clik! by that name. By the standard industry definition, Clik! is indeed still Vapor. - Allen

Thomas, you asked >Can anyone on this board please define the word "vapor"....< It is a reference to Click!, a device that does not fit the description since it has been seen in operation by quite a few. vapor \va-per\ n 1 : fine separated particles (as fog or smoke) floating in the air and clouding it 2 : a substance in the gaseous state; esp : one that is liquid under ordinary conditions 3 : something insubstantial or fleeting 4 pl : a depressed or hysterical nervous condition (C) 1995 Zane Publishing, Inc. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (C) 1994 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated Actually, definition #1 is a good description of the poster's depositions on this thread. GM
