>>This is a comparison of unlike numbers, and therefore the conclusion is meaningless. Do you know the total number of Zip disks sold? No, you don't.<<

They are very much "like' numbers. You see, the tie ratio is a rate at which discs sell to drives. The rate at which Zip drives increased their base since 7/97 (114%) was not met by the growth rate of Zip discs (44%). Clearly even a dimmer-witted 5th grader can see that the tie ratio has been suffering based on this fact.
