Elaine - Your post that CD-R fits the "razor blade" model better than Zip is one of the goofiest pieces of reasoning you've ever come up with. Nobody is making money selling blank CD-R disks. I'm not making that up, I was told that by a man who works for Sony's optical media department. CD-R blanks are so commoditized that prices allow only the narrowest margin of profit. Many companies routinely sell excess inventory at a loss. Which would you rather sell, Elaine? 10 CD-R disks with a retail price of 9.95, yielding less than a dollar of total profit, or 1 Zip disk for 9.95, with a profit of several dollars? It doesn't matter that more CD-R disks are being sold what matters is the huge difference in profit margins. - Allen
