I hate to spoil your party, but what makes you think that CD-ROM games or any software distribution will move to Zip disks? The cost of CD-ROMs are just a couple of pennies (the move from the cartridge based games to CD-ROM based games lowered cost substantially to game manufactureres!!!). Do you really think that ZIP will be as low in price anytime soon?

I am bullish on IOMEGA for all the other reasons, but I don't see it replace the CD-ROM drive. CD-ROMs are very effective cost wise for software sales/distribution. They will be replaced only when we can download all software from the Internet instead of buying it in the stores.
