<<IMO, if (still a very questionable if) IOM does replace the floppy - or simply become widespread enough to be the recognized standard for removable storage - the upside potential is very big. >> Many people are giving minute odds to IOM when it comes to ZIP being a standard on computers. IMO the odds are extremely high that IOM will be the new standard for removable storage. Can you legitimately give me another product that has more of a chance? Although there are not some products that can compete with ZIP when comparing spec sheets. What product is as widely used, widely accepted, widely known, and can be produced as fast as IOM ZIP ware?? Also, what other company is actually making a good enough profit margin on their products to push forward with advertising, research and development. SIMPLY PUT, IOMEGA IS OUT IN FRONT BY THEMSELVES. IMO that GREATLY increased their odds to be the next standard. I would be much more surprised if they were not! Ron Dior
