But the inclusion rate is growing and has been, the manufac. are responding to customer demand for a product which is the zip, not to say that it will not be the only item they ask for like cdrw, but i see them working together and not one replacing the other...the cost to the manufac. of including a zip is way less than a cdrw and will continue to be for a while and its just getting lower...like i have always said if zip gets in 20% of new pc's over the years that would be great as built in.....and believe it, the zip retail has picked up big time....so for the average joe who buys a 999 pc. you may not think he will go out and get a zip, but its happening and at a price of only 69-79 to include, its becomming a standard....just ask dell, micron, and the mail order cata. that list a zip add on for ANY unit they sell for $79.......got to go for now....talk to you'll in a few days...
