Touted as a competitor to Iomega's huge-selling Zip removable storage drive, the SparQ (pronounced 'spark') packs 1Gb cartridges into a design closely resembling its rival's product.

SyQuest says it shipped close to 50,000 SparQ drives and 90,000 SparQ cartridges in the October-December first quarter of volume shipments in the US.

Separately, the company is awaiting the outcome of a November lawsuit it filed against its founder and former CEO Syed Iftikar who now runs a startup called Castlewood Systems. SyQuest alleges Iftikar made use of SyQuest proprietary technology at Castlewood.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
