>>Why is the 'Shopper.com' sales ranking so important to you, while you say that S.Bateh's sales numbers are irrelevant? << They aren't important, as to how the sales rank numbers are figured is open to speculation. (as was stated by Allen in this thread before, it makes for an entertaining horserace) >>Aren't they both supposed to represent product that has been sold?<< Hmm...... why don't you email CNet to find out? >>And IF the company loses money on every drive sold (Your position, not mine) Wouldn't fewer drives sold = less money lost?<< Iomega loses money on OEM drives sold- I think the www.shopper.com tracks Retail units... >>Shouldn't you be hoping for the sales numbers to go up, so you could say that the company is losing EVEN MORE money? << Iomega's OEM strategy is killing them either way. Demand is simply not there if you have to sell your product at a loss. Regualar 1.44 Floppy drives aren't sold for a Loss!
