Ken, Good point about the potential market for Clik. However, if photo developers start offering services to "develop" pictures from Clik disks, it could very well help entrench Clik as a standard for digital image storage. Even if every grandmother isn't going to go out and buy a digital camera, I still think Clik has a lot of potential. In order to improve Clik's prospects as a digital film standard, Iomega needs to be doing things like working with photo developers so that they will accept Clik based images. Regards, Craig

How many people now own scanners for their home computers ? They are not cheap. My own situation: 2 kids, it costs $6 for a roll of film $10 processing plus the cost of a scanner to get them on the web for friends and family. I could easily blow hundreds of $$ on pictures this summer alone. Add to that the aggrevation of piles of pictures and duplicates... Digital looks better every day. Add to that the ability to re-take pictures "get you finger out of your nose, stop making faces..." I'm first in line when they get the technology stabilized. Plus no need to get a scanner.
