If you want to talk price/performance, perhaps we should all go back to 
floppies.  I've got it a floppy disk storage array!!!!

If you want to talk about whatever makes ZIP good and EZ not, talk to this
guy.  Give it a rest, man.  The EZ has better specs for a slightly higher
price.  Its a well made product with a good, fast interface via standard
PC cabling.  Every time somebody makes a point about why they like the EZ,
you have some comeback.  Its a good product, ZIPs a good product, Syquest
may go out of business, ZIP may become the standard.  Microsoft Windows
has become the "standard" and I think that the lack of competition
has been bad for us all.
