Do any of you think that IOMega is making money off their drives? The old adage "you sell the razors, i'll sell the blades" The disks are the only thing that IOM should be using to make money off of. However, all of their recording media is overpriced. What does a Zip disk cost, $10 or so? For 100meg! With CD burners coming as standard on new computers, and a RWCD costing about $1 for over 600meg, it makes IOMega look like gougers that are ripping off the dummies that were stupid enough to buy their drives.
Be aware IOMega, the "dummies" have a way at getting even with a vengence in a rapidly changing free market.
"Interfacing with Windows has never been a problem for Apple" Really interfacing has ALWAYs been a problem for Apple. Jobs has done is darnest to see that Apple Island stays as prepriotory as possible. This is where Palm cleaned up. Sync with just about anything.
They stayed away from this childish urinating contest between Apple and the rest of the world.
