RE: OEM Zip Percent In Q4 there were approximately 3 million Zip drives sold. 35% = 1 million OEM versus 2 million Retail. By the summer or so, I believe that retail sales will look like this: 1/6 Zip Plus 2/3 Parallel 1/6 SCSI Very rough guestimate. I also believe that total retail sales will begin to slip in the US and be made up in Europe and Asia. More and more OEM computers, however, will include the Zip as a standard device. If Iomega sells an internal Zip to Dell for around $60, who can charge $99 to the customer, you better believe that Dell will continue to push sales of the Zip. -Andrew
