if iomega releases a product, and no one cares...
...does it ever really exist? now there's zen for ya.
case in point, the new <a href="http://www.iomega.com/na/products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=391603&FOLD ER%3C%3Efolder_id=432677&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=63 191&bmUID=1029456360273" target="_blank">zip 750</a>.
wow, so i can get yet another drive, that only offers limited support for the 20+ zip 100's i bought and still use, yet uses media that's approximately the same size as a cd-rw disc, for a several times the unit cost. hmmm...
you know, there was a day and time when the zip 100 was poised to replace the floppy drive, but iomega somehow forgot about fast networking and recordable cd technologies surpassing them when they slept.
for the record, i have also had two zip drives succumb to the dreaded "click of death."

If you've got Iomega stock, now's a good time to sell
I had an Iomega HipZip? MP3 player. It looked cool and all that...but after about a week, the disk got stuck inside and no amount of prying could free it. It's a good thing Amazon has such a good return policy.
