Hey folks, I'm a first year MBA student at UT Austin. When I got here, during orientation, the Dean of Technology began telling us what the minimum requirements were for our computers. You see, we are required to purchase a computer. Anyway, one of the requirements was that we buy a zip drive, because we'd need it to transfer large files. There's only 450 of us 1st years, but can you imagine what the sales will be like if they are also recommending the same thing to the 50,000 undergraduates? Or can you imagine what sales will be like if this kind of recommendation is going on all across the country? If a company like IOM can get the young people to believe in the zip as a standard, the battle is won.

BTW, the team projects I work on are huge, including Excel, Word and Powerpoint files. I simply could not work without my zip drive.
