Just a thought. I heard the Syquest radio ad in the SF bay area on a hip hop type station. It actually sounded ok to me. Why does IOM keep advertising on the Leaning Channel or Discovery Channel. I can't remember which. I admit to watching these great channels, but I think the market is very small. A thought about obsolescence. Everyone keeps expecting IOM to come out with Zip 2 or a new higher capacity model. One bear argument is that a new product will come along and wipe out the zip fame. I'm starting to think that people are getting too many choices now. I was in the market for a larger computer screen. Everyone keeps telling me to wait for the new flat screens to get bigger and cheaper. I was going to buy a big screen TV(tired eyes) and I keep getting told that HDTV will make my tv worthless in a year. Don't buy that F150 cause Chev will be coming out with a new model next year. Don't get a DVD player cause DIVX is the new format for watching movies. At some point you have to use what works and is proven. to me Zip fits the bill for me. Fred
