Re: Zip and Sub-1K machines

Actually, these are a huge potential market for future Zip sales. These machines have the smallest harddrives and their buyers are unlikely to open the covers to upgrade them when they fill up (as we know they will). A $99 Zip is the perfect mid-life kicker for these machines, but these consumers need to be educated as to the advantage, hence the upcoming Zip consumer ad campaign.

I think that many of the sub $1000 computers are going to come with relatively small hard discs. When those get filled up zip will seem like a good solution, low cost and easily attached.
