- Iomega isn't exactly a risky newcomer here. They've been shipping Bernoullis
- for years, although I will grant that they have been much more of a presence in
- the PC market than on the Mac.
- I wouldn't write them off just for being a single-source, since they have a
- very good reliable solution. After all, we all have Macintoshes even though
- those involve proprietary technology and are only available from a single
- source, too. ;-)
