I think that the zip hasn't been standard in OEM computers because of confusion about other choices, such as Syquest drives. In addition, the click of death didn't help. The bottom line is that other than CD-R, there really isn't any other choice other that zip for cheap, portable, mass storage. In addition, Zip is MUCH FASTER than CD-R and will stay that way. I hope that we will soon see a host of OEMs offering zip as standard. Perhaps they didn't want to do that because of possible customer dissatisfaction if the zip drives died? Who knows.
