<<The built in Zip is losing business as the low end machines take over.>> As much as the above is true, another way to look at it is as follows. The storage space on the sub-qppp pc's is ratehr limited, users will eventually need additional space and a need for Zip, no? Just looking at both sides of the argument. Zead It will be interesting to see the % of oem in the Q1 CC.
