>>Everybody is buying sub $1000 PCs today, none of which have ZIPs,
therefore, no loyalty to ZIP.<<

Ken -

The latest figures I have seen show that sub $1,000 PCs make up less than half of all PC sales. Yes, they are in the 40% range, but that's still not "everybody."

And let's not forget that the sub $1,000 PC buyer will often buy upgrades, including $99 Zip drives. I believe that many of those buyers will be far more likely to spend a hundred bucks for a Zip drive than two hundred for a SparQ. They'll figure they don't need the higher capacity. Plus, as each month goes by, it's more and more likely that their friends have Zip drives.
