Junkyard reported some very huge news the other day. He asked for confirmation. It is now confirmed.

"$50M charge by MKE for obsolete LS-120 product--sitting unsold for over a year!!!!!"

This is one of the most major things to happen to Iomega the stock in a long time.

The LS-120 may not have been real competition-but ask anyone who is not technical but follows Iomega and they say "well, isn't there that LS or something that is better coming out soon?"

The media has created a 3 headed monster out of the LS-120. The bears shot all they had on this. Forbes focused on it. The WSJ took 10 points from us last year at the Expo on the LS-120.

The bears love to tout (never typed that before I think) Iomega as a one product company that will be put out of business by the much faster, backward compatible LS-120 (please note, it aint faster, but the manipulative writers do write that it is)

THE NEWS THAT I HAVE CONFIRMED IS HUGE!!!!!!!!
