>They are not "giving away" ZIPs, they have standardized on them. We have no idea how much they are costing Micron. The $25 is NOT an indicator of the cost. Once the ZIP is standard there is a cost involved in removing them. If I want to order, say, an IBM PC without any floppy drive - as I do from time to time - I have to pay extra; that doesn't mean that floppies have a negative cost. FIDO< I think you are mixing up two stories here. Zip are at this time being put on all MMX machines because they are being given away by Micron. That does not mean that Zips cost Micron nothing, but it does indicate that it does not cost them much. The fact that the price can only be cut by $25 without the Zip, only reinforces the point.
