>>And it's also dated November 1998. This is old news. But Iomaniacs only have this as any sort of evidence of hope for Flop! But this November evidence was destroyed today.<< And it also clearly says that the products will be out in the second quarter of 1999, so it's a bit early to say it isn't going to happen. But don't let that stop you. You can be like the people who kept insisting, in 1996, that Compaq would NEVER sign an OEM agreement with Iomega, because they were part of the LS-120 consortium. You can be wrong just like them. Even today, despite your delusional statements to the contrary, Compaq continues to sell computers with Zip drives built in at a rapid clip. Check out this excerpt from the recent press release: "Compaq offers Iomega's Zip drive standard in several models and as an optional feature in its Presario line of PCs. Compaq offers the Zip drive as a choice at over 6,000 Built-for-You kiosks where customers are given the opportunity to configure their own Compaq computer system. The majority of customers ordering their systems via the retail kiosk and web, choose to add Zip drives." (emphasis mine) It's really funny the way you continue to use arguments even after they've been proven false. Let's face it, Wrongway Reid, you're out of ammunition. You have nothing left but blanks. Why do you keep shooting? - Allen PS: Remember Captain Wrongway Peachfuzz? He was almost as funny as you are.

From that November 1998 PR, It is expected that such products will be available from Agfa in the second quarter of 1999. Perhaps they didn't want to announce anything until it's available. Of course that never occurred to you.
