>>Allen, I think the answer lies somewhere in between your opinion and Rosencranz's regarding losses on OEM sales.<< Gary - Well, since I didn't offer any numbers, I'm comfortable with that. ;-) I'm sure that they make less on OEM drives. As for retailers' margins on Iomega products, well, margins are thin throughout the industry. I do notice that at the computer shows I attend, Iomega products are plentiful, and the prices are right in line with what you see from the deep discount mail order places, or only slightly lower. That's a pretty good indication that there isn't much margin to work with in the first place. - Allen
