16 pack zip disks for $125 at Costco starting from 15th for a week. It is actually $150-$25 if you give the coupon. It is nice to see Iomega coming in the coupon book of Costco. It shows that the company's channel focusing is working. Also, this knocks the price of a Zip Disk to be under $8. I wonder who will buy Nomai if people can get such deals frequently!! Also, Fujuisu laptop with Zip models are now $1499 and $1699 at Fry's Sunnyvale. I was seeing them for $1799 and $1999 when they were introduced. The current prices are really attractive esp when they come with Zip drives and 56K modems. I still think getting into as many OEM boxes as possible should be the goal of IOM. In fact, they don't have to cut the retail prices much but should give more deals for OEMs to package them. It is a psychology game. When people see lot of models with Zip Buit in, they will feel that it is a must and will hesitate to buy the ones with out Zip Built In. Rest of the people who already have PCs won't mind paying $119 instead of $99 for an external Zip. Oh. well. Hope we hear some good news at PC Expo. -senthil
