>>>Customers want Zip drives. Period. Beyond that, things could get crazy when the incremental cost for providing a Zip in place of a floppy prompts suppliers to begin promoting the drive by making it the standard and offering the old-style floppy as an option.<<<

Dale, Apple has already started doing this. The floppy is optional on the larger screen 'Wallstreet' PowerBook G3's and offered only as USB add-ons for the iMacs and the new blue box G3's. Zip is standard on one of the blue boxes and, apparently, will be standard on several upcoming PowerBook G3's.
