>>My point is still valid, however. Zip drive unit sales up 35%, disk sales up 44%. This does not indicate declining tie ratios.<<

All along I thought it was Iomega's contention that the tie ratios are defined as the total amount of discs sold for all Zip drives existing in the world, regardless of any time constraint.

Now, it seems the definition has been modified to mean the number of Zip discs sold compared to the number of drives sold in a given Quarter, completely ignoring the installed base. This doesn't tell you anything about how well Zip disc units are moving compared to the installed base.

This is why I question that Zip disc units are only up 44% when the installed base of Zip drives is up 114% since June 31. 1997.
