>>I guess the increase in OEM sales is just not as visible as last year. In my own experience if anything I've seen Zips around less. Also, there have been some discouragements this year with OEMs dropping Zips as standard.<< Brendan - I think what's deceptive is the fact that while many manufacturers have been including Zips in fewer models as a standard item, they have continued to sell them as add-ons. Hence, fewer models with standard Zip, but total OEM sales dramatically better. Apparently, the direct-marketers have found that they do better, profit-wise, to price the box just a bit lower, then sell the Zip as an add-on for $99, including a couple of disks. - Allen
