>>>> Happy Good Friday to all of my fellow Iomega Followers <<<< <I. Taken from Maccentral : Ihnatko #28: "Media Whore, Part II" by Andy Ihnatko, andy@maccentral.com Contributing Editor and Columnist March 29, 1999, 5:30 am ET Snips : Superdisk holds 120M with those special disks. Sony's new HiFD format stores 200, but it isn't available for Mac just yet (Sony says that Mac packs will be available eventually). They have one thing in common, though: their patent holders spitefully think about the billions of dollars they'd have made by now if it weren't for Iomega's Zip drive. And then the deep-frier starts beeping and they get back to work. Snip: How useful is a Superdisk? If you've got an iMac, they're pretty damned useful: they can read and write the most popular floppy format on the planet. And as simple as desktop hubless Ethernet can be, it's still not as simply as simply ejecting a floppy from one computer and sticking it in your iMac - particularly if the other computer is a Windows box. But what about the rest of us? Superdisk is a hard sell. 120 megs is, well, nice - but it's not a capacity that anyone's going to lose bladder-control over. And who exactly are you going to share that 120M with? Another iMac user, possibly, but as hard and earnestly as Imation has tried to push the format, they're still getting clobbered by Zip. maccentral.com Rocky , Flop will Flip and you'll be calling it the Clik before this Quarter ends .

<<This was a great April Fool's Joke: maccentral.com I wonder how many Lime iMacs sold yesterday.>> You oughta know. Remember last year? When they said something about reading the chart upside down (for the last 3 years,) and that 90% of mutual funds DO NOT underperform that market? Once you found out you started trashing the Fools on this board and how they were doomed like IOM. That was a Clik! moment!! I coulda swore your ears started to get longer. Zead
