Ben, I went to Fry's yesterday to buy a new HP Pavilion 4450. It has USB ports, so I'll have to get a USB ZIP soon.<g> Looking around there were Iomega products in several aisles of the store. Hardly any other removable disk drives. It reminded me of shopping for an OS: there is MS Win98, MS NT and --------------- Red Hat Linux. Iomega really dominates its field almost like MS dominates OS. The HP computer manual has a whole chapter on ZIP drives called "Using the ZIP drive" - as if they were generic. No others are mentioned. The pre-loaded Win98 on the HP PC has "Iomega Tools" containing 8 programs in it in the Start Menu. The Fry's salesman paused when I asked about Click! - as if he had not heard about them before. He said they didn't have any. At CompUSA I saw 3 Click! and a few disks in a glass case. No Sony HiFD anywhere. Gottfried
