Linda, yes, i plan on calling IR also. however, there is street pricing of zip -IDE at $99 already, at least in Silicon Valley. I think they are buying volume OEM drives and selling at small margins. I think retail zip is going to decline dramatically this fiscal year. I think that oem will sell 12 million, and retail 8 million. I know that foreign sales of zip is slow because the things are so darn expensive. Foreign posters are welcome to confirm/deny!!! KE needs to LISTEN to the CUSTOMER. Trying to milk the higher prices, means trying to skin the customer. Customers have a great competitive strategy: WAIT. BL
