>>NOW YOU GOT ME MAD BY CALLING ME ROCKY.<< Oh, chill. Consider it the compliment that it is. The Iomega Slaves have just accused you of being someone who is not hoodwinked into buying the Iomega Cult party line. And as with any Cult, the Iomega Cult has its share of Internal Police who are always on guard for the slightest outside threat, or any fellow Cult member who dares to stray apart from the company line. But you are correct in your reasoning that IOmega is having ZERO success in getting OEM's to build Zips into cheap computers. Instead, Zip is being DROPPED as a Standard from OEM's like Compaq, Apple, and Gateway.

>>You can buy now a complete PC for $500. The biggest growth in PC's will be in this area. How could you convince somebody to spare another $200 for a removable 100-meg storage?<< BO Hype - You may not be Rocky but you're sure recycling his old arguments. It is not necessarily the case that most of the growth in the PC industry will be in the $500 price range. It is definitely not the case that it costs $200 for 100MB of removable storage. Zip drives can be had for around a hundred bucks now. Where will Iomega get its growth? Zip, Zip 250, USB Zip, surely a USB Zip 250 soon, Jaz, Jaz2, Clik! in a variety of applications AND new products not yet announced. - Allen
