<That's what I call an industry standard. My prediction is that you will not be able to buy a computer new without a Zip by mid 98.>

If you take notice, over the next couple of months, P133 and P166 systems will become extinct. Intel has slashed the price of the MMX processor, which will rapidly bring them down to the $1,000 to $1,400 range where the current p133 and p166 systems exist. Now with many of these MMX skus containing zips, and based upon product life cycles in this industry, I give it less than a year before zip is in all the boxes!

It is interesting to find that the common every day computer user (word processing and spreadsheets) now believes do to marketing that they need to have a P166MMX with 32 megs of ram and a 4 gig hard drive.

Just an observation.
