>>The ZD article showing Zip 100s in six of the seven 500 Mhz Pentium III boxes was heartening and was a welcome sign of things to come. At least there was not ONE Super Disk included in any of these offerings!<<

Mel -

I noticed that, too. It makes me wonder how anyone could decide that the SuperDisk is the "dominant OEM presence."

I mean, here are seven machines, from the top PC manufacturers, representing the very latest technology available. These aren't close-outs or el cheapo units. These are the top of the line boxes. And what do six out of seven of them come with as standard removable storage?

It is true that the LS-120 has made some progress of late. Certainly the Imac has had something to do with that. I said last summer that the fact that Imac had no floppy drive would create an opportunity for Imation. But still, I believe that 10 out of 10 of the top PC makers in the world offer Zip drives in their machines, and only a few of them offer SuperDisk.
