>>>>Full Page Gateway Ad "$45 a month for a complete system including a monitor, color printer, ZIP drive and speakers."<< Ahh, yes... One more model of computer that includes a Zip drive sold at a loss by Iomega.<< Elaine - You're hilarious. Let me get this straight. If any computer is sold without a Zip drive built in, that's bad for Iomega. If any computer is sold with a Zip drive built in, that's also bad for Iomega. Is that it? Do you have any idea what the actual negative margin is on one OEM Zip drive? No, you haven't. I'll bet that the sale of one or at the most two Zip disks to the customer who buys that computer makes up for it. And don't forget that all retail Zip drives are sold at a profit. - Allen
