Channel Check:

As I reported many times over the last quarter, there have been no internal zips at CompUSA Direct/PC's Compleat. I am here to report today, that there have been internal SCSI zips available for about the last month. Still no ATAPI internals. They don't have hundreds, but they have a few of the SCSI's.

>>Allen, If the channel was so stuffed in Oct, why couldn't I find Zips in numbers anywhere I looked?<<

Edwin -

Well, if Iomega's shipments to distributors increased in the last couple of weeks of October, it wouldn't have had much impact on retail shelves until November.

But as I posted to BO, there's nothing about increasing shipments leading up to the holiday shopping season which indicates a desire to stuff the channel for the sole purpose of being able to make another "million shipped" announcement.
