Compared to other "brand-new" technologies released in last couple of years, and their corresponding early problems (the Pentium and its heat problems, CD-ROM burners and their habits of destroying blank CD's, laptop mice that were fragile & bulky, etc.), the lack of problem reports isn't just impressive, it's amazing. Remember we're dealing with IOmega. They've created portable fixed disks for years. And I guess they've collected all their experience and customer demands on the issue, mixed it together, boiled it down and cooked it at 1000 degrees.. Out comes the ZipDrive, ready to serve.. With the obviously rushed schedule, one has to wonder if SyQuest will be able to produce the same spotless record. Hmm.. Anyhow, they'll be number two. And IOmega's got quite a long head start. And head starts creates de facto standards. -- +----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ambolt@stud.unit.no | Department of Computer Systems and Telematics | | "Save the Snails!!" | Norwegian Institute of Technology | +----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
