Griping about Iomega (was Re: Zipdrive, PCMCIA SCSI)




> Iomega offers a more compact [power adapter] for $40.

  Hmm...  $40 for a power adapter that doesn't weight as much as the ZIP drive.
$30 for the new ZIP Tools software that will work with Win95.  A telephone
tech-support person swore up and down to a friend of mine that the only way to
get drivers for OS/2 was to buy them from Iomega for $20; no mention of
downloading them from the net or their BBS.  No more Tech Support forum on
Iomega's BBS; they've moved it to AOL and MSN.

  What next, a $20 on/off switch?  Maybe they'll sell labels at $1 each?

  Am I the only one that feels Iomega is trying to bleed the customer?
