"All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten" theme:

All I know now is: a ZIP is Ten-Thousand-Times more useful and convenient to me than a floppy, and at slightly higher cost which I do not care about very much. My time and labor savings advantages by reducing "wrist-traffic" :-) from the floppy door to desktop is impossible for me to let go and the product has this seductive appeal and provides peace of mind w.r.t. future standardization/compatibility because of its "de-facto" standard right now ... if this is not the Microsoft-kinda stock for the next decade right now, I do not know then which one is! The best part is: its extremely undervalued right now! :-)

<<Shorters will take notice of this "125,000,000" discs sold >>

Big deal!!

<<come to realize that there is very little profit to be made on the downside in this stock>>

That's one way to look at it. Another way would be that shorting this stock was a rather smart move, especially when one considers how saturated the market is becoming. Zip, IMHO, is obselete technology. Rewriteable cd's is where it's at.
