Very clever! I'd like to point out that in the same press release IOMG states that they and their 3rd party manufacturing partners (Seiko Epson + others?) have a (current) capacity of about 5 million ZIPs/year. This is consistent with your figure of 13,333 drives/day: 365 days x (13,333 drives/day) = 4.8 Million Drives year. Clearly, they are selling every drive they can build and they are building them at full capacity. My understanding is that their production is limited by the availability of a sole source chip. So, correct me if I'm wrong, it would appear that 5 million drives per year is their upper limit no matter how many more OEM deals they sign. The only way for this to change would be for "the son of IOMEGA" to produce more chips for them. Any comments? -- Fernando
