BO, that post has to rank as your all time silliest one yet. Even after getting past the invalid logic, you say you would take 3000 of something you would never use? Why? Do you like storing junk in your garage? The number of razor blades consumed per razor is not independent of the price of razors. Consider the ultimate scenario where razors are free. I'll take 3000 razors please. No razor blades, thank you, I am the Bearded One. The number of disks bought at the time of the purchase of the drive will depend on need, price of disk, then price of drive, in that order (the last one simply because of the psychological effect of buying a lot in one stint.) But the price of the drive won't figure into any future disk purchase decision. How could it? I know, I am there. The ONLY things that I consider when I think of purchasing more Zip disks are need and price of disk.

BO, >As you move into different price points, different buying patterns emerge. < I trust that's true. The marketing mavens probably know how to quantify the buying patterns. The executives probably make no price change without such research. GM
