Did I hear the CC correctly--unit shipments were up 68% quarter to quarter and only 100% over the last year? Looks to me like accelerating demand for the Zip, which is backed up by the increase in OEM drives, from I can't remember to around 34%--how can this be bad? Although they missed some arbitrary estimate, they've doubled their earnings and raised their margins at the same time. And what are these comments about betting the company on an advertising campaign?--didn't they make 115M this quarter, which, at least the way I do math, means that they've more than paid for all of next year's nice ad budget this quarter. . .
