I share the same memories of our friend "CHUMP-X".

I can hardly wait for his unclever, inaccurate and arrogant "contributions".

BTW, I tend to look at the Nomai situation as a partial positive. Certainly if IOM does not prevail in the courts, disk margins will be negatively affected. But, on the flip side, lower disk costs mean greater accessibility to media and lower cost for software distribution, etc.. This can help Zip become a true standard.

I believe that even Gillette has had to deal with "off-brand" copies and the "razor-blade" model has still prospered.
