It's my opinion based on a very clearly drawn set of criteria. You don't understand. I called it speculation because we have no idea how this thread would have reacted because it did not yet exist. Now that you changed your mind about USR (switching it from being a Gorilla to a King) Where did I say that USR was a gorilla? Go back to my original post: "How do you explain the underperformance of many companies who would have been called the Gorillas and Kings of their day?" Message 14892164 And the Zip drive market isn't the realm of a Gorilla because it is only one brand that competes with other architectures. Think PC storage c. 1996. Syquest was defeated and CD-Roms hadn't arrived yet. People started passing around Zip disks like floppies. Might this not have made the G&K Index of 1997?
