don't know what "truck loads" means, but Imation figures they've sold 2 million drives. IOM figures 17 million. sounds like IOM has been selling zips with larger trucks. the zip works fine for me

Can you define truckloads? My understanding was that the Imation USB version was not yet shipping.

a telling factor to come is the zip/laptop. it's been reported that within two years (or so) all college students will be required to have a laptop - it's already a requirement at some. about 12% to 15% of college students have personal laptops now. zip needs to win some battles here; don't believe it needs to capture leading market share however to succeed; as long as market share remains above 25%
