Elmer - My goodness, actually responding to little old me? Yes, you did miss, by a wide margin, on your claim that CD-RW DRIVES would outsell Zip in 1998. And that prediction was made in 1998! Note: accountability and credibility can't be had by twisting the truth by talking about media sales. Try to get some kind of a grip. DiskTrend's reports are very accurate within any reasonable time frame. The people who pay them are perfectly happy to get a prediction for one year out with a margin of error well under 10%. There is no reason for anyone to expect to be able to make perfectly accurate predictions three years out in a market arena as fast-changing as computer peripherals. Remember, in 1996, the Zip drive was still quite new. The market was in its infancy. In your frenzied urgency to attack anything related to Iomega, you are revealing yet again that you are incapable of truly rational thought on this subject. - Allen PS: 1.7 Billion CD R blanks per month? Are you sure about that? Sounds way too high to me. I must check into this.
