Re Syquest,, My condolences to those good folks that honestly worked hard for Syquest and believed in the company. I hope your fortunes take a turn for the better. IOM's pending lawsuit on the SparQ disks could well have put a damper on any perspective suitor. This should be a big plus for IOM, to the victor will go the spoils. I noticed that in the commentary by some of the analyst in the Robert Lemos ZDNET article " A little Zip in every peripheral " >>Some of it makes sense, and some of it doesn't," said Van Baker, storage analyst at market researcher Dataquest. While a scanner that prints to a Zip disk is close enough to a copy machine to make sense, he said, a Zip-enabled printer is a stretch. "Why would I want to pay more for a device that I generally hook up to the PC?" he asked.<< I think these guys are trapped in their PC worlds, The simple answer to the Question is that not all printing will come from the PC. WEB TV's will need a way to print from and to me it makes sense to have a printer that can service that market. It would also be great to scan pictures right on to a disk and then put it right into the printer without having to load everything thru a PC. Well Herb ?? Regards Reseller
