I saw an add for this new removeable drive format from Iomega a couple of months ago, and its supposed to come out in the 4th quarter. It looks like it might make a good substitute for a floppy for a portable, and/or a main hd. The portable drive they show looks pretty compact and you might be able to cram it right into a wearable. Of course a 40MB flash card is a better solution if all you want is a small hard drive (street price ~$250). If anyone hasn't seen the little 'clik' cartridges; their small enough to hide under your tongue. :) -Paul Robert Nagy wrote: > > > I think that the floppy would be useful for small file transfers, > > and other tasks which this technology has proven itself on over the > > years.
