ZipInside check. Charlotte NC Sunday morning paper insert ads: Best Buy page 2, Compaq system 233MHZ AMD K6 $1299. "Zip Included" label is prominently displayed over the 'minitower', but not mentioned in the list of features. Office Depot Page 2, Same Compaq as above. $1299. Office Max Page 5, center fold. "Compaq Multimedia Computer with Zip Drive." Pentium based system. No other mention of Zip. $1599. Circuit City page 6/7, center fold pages. 1) Reads "Power Macintosh 6500/275 Computer with Iomega 100MB Zip Drive" as banner. Zip listed in list of features. 'Zip Built-In' logo appears superimposed over the minitower. $2099. 2) Reads "Sony PCV200 Multimedia Computer with Iomega 100MB Zip drive" as banner. Zip in list of features. 'Zip Built-In' hovering over the tower unit. $1499. Circuit City poses a small negative, though. There is a consumer boycott of CC based on their new 15% return charge policy. Ben A.
