>> retail sales may grow more than people expect. << Frank - I think you are absolutley correct. Consider also that the OEM side is a zero sum game. Every SKU that IOM locks-up is one less available to the competition. KE has long said that getting in the boxes was their number one priority, and I believe this is the reason why. The cometition is going to have to have a substanially better product in order to for box makers to intoduce other removeables into their SKU's. Being as good as or a bit better than a Zip won't do it. KE's comment about ~10M Zips being the critical mass figure for establishing Zip as the standard was, I think, based on his knowing just how many of those 10M would be from SKU boxes. MF Keeler's (he used to post here regularly you know) observations about SKU growth is very good news to consider going forward. ====== ok.... wasn't going to go here after Fast Eddy's comment about LP's library, but.... I'm thinking the guy must really only be 14 since his quip did not include an obvious followup line from the picture......he could have offered to light her fire.
