>>Both of today's announcements are forward-looking and have got not much to do with revenues in Q4 1997.<< Francis - A quote from one of the announcements, emphasis mine: "Sharp will be including Iomega's notebook Zip drive as a standard feature in its PC-M200Z notebook PC, and as an optional feature in the remainder of the M series of notebook PCs. These notebook PCs are designed to offer mobile customers the computing abilities that are inherent in desktop systems. They are expected to be available through corporate resellers by December 1997." Sharp must be receiving these things already. Revenue for Q4. - Allen

I haven't been paying attention to the notebook zip saga and need some clarification--am I correct that the larger notebooks zips have already shipped and that you are talking the slim zip?

Francis, <I am still waiting to see those notebook ZIPs appear in the retail outlets.> Your wait is about to end. I spoke with CNF Inc. today and they said they had shipped huge orders to CompUSA stores this week. They also shipped my order Monday evening ($299+$10s&h). I got the UPS tracking number and confirmed that it is in transit. Unfortuantely, they are in CA and I am clear across the country so I probably won't get it until Tuesday. I will report back when I have received and tested it. FF
