Jwk, they're selling refurb zips here with no rebate for $89 Sacramento Saw the $50 coupon at Staples I think. However, think it's the Western Digital deal and they're just being deceptive in their advertising.

JWK, Seattle could very well be a test market for the new $99 Zip after the $30 rebate. Will visit the closest Future Shop tomorrow morning to verify the ad and to determine where the rebate is coming from. The Future Shop is a Canadian based enterprise with multiple outlets. The retail store I'm most familiar with is over 40,000 square feet and specializes mostly in high-tech consumer goods. As someone earlier stated in this thread, if IOM can maintain its margins while breaking the $100 barrier this will be huge. Only time will tell. Best to all, Allan
