<<<Why do you think that nearly all of the latest Apple G4 machines come with a Zip drive as a standard configuration? Why do you think 6 out of 7 Dell home PCs come with a Zip drive as a standard configuration?>>>

David, I'll assume your statement is true. But as an investor I have to anticipate where the market is going and be on the correct side before other investors figure it out. For a long time I've been anticipating CD-RWs would be displacing Zips as the choice of removable storage in the personal computer market. That is only my opinion, and only time will tell if it comes true. I can see how CD-RW and Zip can compliment each other. But not to the point where PC makers will ever be putting in both as standard equipment. From that CD-RW article, HP is moving to CD-RW and I assume displacing Zips from their PCs. This makes sense as HP is a CD-RW maker. So the question is, are other PC makers going to follow HP lead? I obviously think they will be.
