I'm a little concerned that we should be discussing "killing" Iomega to help
promote MD. I have no shares in Sony or Iomega, so my only interest in
promoting general MD usage are:
1) it's cool
2) wider usage should bring down the price of blanks & MD equipment.
I have no desire to inflict collateral damage in essentially unconnected
markets.

I'm not sure we will derive ANY benefit from the success of MD2, except
perhaps an inceased awareness of MD, and it might actually hurt us by making
our current investment in MD obsolete sooner.
