Some things stand out (reiteration of things I've said for years): << the person who bought the computer might have bought that as a bundle and doesn't really know how to use that zip drive or zip disk >> Selling ZIPs to Joe sixpack will lower tie ratios... << The floppy has changed its role over the years, it's no longer a software distribution vehicle, it's more for just saving a few small files, and it has no better use than that. It's biggest strength is its price, it's dirt cheap. For any technology to replace the floppy especially In today's environment of constantly reducing the price of pcs, nothing's going to replace the floppy unless the price of the replacement is going to get down to the sub-$20 price of a floppy drive to the oem. >> BINGO! The thrust of the argument: (1) no SW distribution, hence low demand (2) Price, Price, Price.. kp
