Sandy, Your numbers clearly show some life in Jaz sales. This is mainly due to the death of SYQT and also due to more reasonable $349 price. This Qtrs surprise could be the Jaz since the margins are so much better there. I am not still convinced that Zip sales are over 1 Mil/month since we don't see any supporting evidence from press releases. But i hope, the cost cutting improves the margins there. Now that USB is for real, why can't IOM reduce the sku numbers and streamline the products? Example, Zip Int - $99 ($79 for future) Zip ext (parallel) - $119 ($99 for future) Zip ext (USB) - $149 ($129 for future) Zip plus ext - $149 (scsi & parallel) No separate SCSI. For people who want that, go with Zip plus since it is the fastest version. By doing this, they will sell more zip plus and will make up for lack of SCSI alone. Also, the Zip 250 and zip will have some clear price difference. Comments?? -senthil
