Well, thats too bad... since MiniDiscs are catching popularity here and are becoming quite cheap, i'd gladly accept a portable 250MB medium as a replacement for the now almost ancient 1.44MB medium. (With hard drives that can hold over 80G, with DVD drives that can offer more then 2G per disc, and in some cases, even Cable Modems or DSLs... the good ol' 1.44 diskettes now look almost like a joke.
