>Hey, how about some more details on the competion's USB drive?!<

Well, looks like an IMac but I have it hooked up to my smokin' 400MHz Dell. Perfect plug-n-play connectivity in Windows 98. Much faster than PP or at least it doesn't bog the system down like a PP drive. Allows me to watch Keb Mo videos without a hitch. Uses lots of caching which does make the copy speed deceptive. Drag over some huge files and they just scream to the drive till....they run out of cache and then it gets pokey.

Anyway, this is the first USB storage device I've played with and I think that it will make a nice interface for slower devices.

One other thing...I do want to get my hands on the USB Zip cuz' because the Zip is much faster than this drive in its base form so the Zip will give a better indication of how the USB will work for faster devices. Come on Iomega get the Zip out...
