Sandy and all, Been away for a few days, but saw a Sony HiFD drive and disks in CompUSA in Atlanta. They wanted $14.99 per disk, and they had about 30 disks in stock. Its as skinney as a floppy. I think the drive was priced at $199. It was boxed and they had two. Also saw lots of USB Zip drives for sale with removables and in Apple section, on display next to i-Macs. But also LS 120. The saleman, who said he was a Mac man didn't know the difference between a Zip and LS 120 in speed. I told him a Zip is 5X faster (was I right?). He seemed embarrassed he didn't know, had been pushing LS-120 on idea they get floppy and superfloppy. Regards, David S.
