Not even in the top 10 for PC market share but it still has good influence in OEM market especially monitor. I see the debate of HiFD, LS-120, and Zip pop up again. Same as before, imo HiFD can put a serious damage to Zip if it is as cheap or cheaper than the Zip, this apply to Zip2 also because the advantage of backward compatibility. We still have 10 times more floppies installed than Zips. In any ways, Zip will not simply died all the sudden since it still has some advantages in portability. Besides It will takes at least 2 to 3 years for HiFD to replace floppy (if it ever will). This is only my logical view, I don't long any of the above stocks. aC
