At the years passed, it become obvious the only challenging factor was
market share.  I think Iomega had the knack of marketing skill (still do,
AFAIK) and found some good price/performance ratios.  100MB, 1GB and now
the little Klik doobies.  I'd love a PC-Card Klik drive.  They're 20MB
each and so =cute=.

This is something to keep an eye on.  I wonder if the Zip has enough
momentum to go beyond Iomega now.  Do you have a web page where the latest
situation on Iomega is explained?


BTW, to the person who said Zips are slow:  You're not still using the
parallel version, are you?

Email is ASCII.  Cope with it.
