Martin, Is the 3 1/2" disk drive backward compatible with the 5 1/4" disk drive? No, it isn't. In the same way, the Zip drive is not backward compatible with the 3 1/2" drive.

More importantly however is that CNBC allowed this interview to take place. David Rocker is the head of Rocker Partners, a hedge fund that has lost a tremendous amount of money of late. They may be heading for bankruptcy. They still have tremendous short positions in Iomega and America Online.

This interview took place at a very strategic time. It took place on a very volatile day and just before it could impact the market prior to the final hour before closing.

This was a very unconventional interview. It was intended to influence investors like you for Rocker's personal benefit. This is not very good journalism.
