Joel, "The fact that the price can only be cut by $25 without the Zip, only reinforces the point." I think you missed Francis' point -- the reason that Micron knocks a measly $25 off the price is to discourage people from making special orders. Just to toss a couple of numbers around, say that Micron decides that the cost of handling a special order such as a Zipless machine that normally has a Zip in it is $50 (not a totally unreasonable assumption, IMHO). This implies that the drive costs Micron $75. So by not including the drive, Micron saves that $75, passes $25 on to the finnicky ;-) customer, and keeps $50 for their troubles. Seems reasonable to me, anyways. -Martin (Having a hard time getting that "Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us..." Burger King Jingle out of his head. :-)
