Aus - Well I now have my first SanDisk. A 40mb little beauty. The store I bought them from didn't like SNDK at all since they were to expensive. They wanted to sell me another brand, I didn't even bother to look which one as I put up a display of rightful indignation that anyone should even attempt to try to sell me inferior products since SNDK is by far the best!! Still I put the 40Mb little dream into my new Cassio E-15, bought under your quite correct advice, and ......I don't know what to do with it! I mean I don't have 40mb of information oin my life or my wifes life nor indeed my entire family's life. Still it is nice to have one and I do show it to people and it makes them think that I really know about technology so it is improving my reputation. Best regards, L

Aus, Art, et al, I am heartily in favor of Sandisk's arrangement with Kodak. I mentioned the drawbacks to OEM arrangements because a brand name can be an important factor for a consumer product. You have noted yourself--with dismay--when Lexar outsells Sandisk. One of the most effective ways to counter that is to create a brand name presence. If you do not have that type of recognition, any customer in a retail outlet will simply pick the lowest price. If I seem overly concerned with this, please forgive me, but I'm in public relations, and, I guess, I view everything in marketing terms. Jim
