>>With any rebates and potential price reduction on Iomega's part, would it be worth the trouble for Nomai to get a piece of the action?

Why would they even try for a piece of the action if this wasn't considered a LUCRATIVE venture?
In other words, maybe ZipDrives/Disks could be around for a while.<<

Linda -

This is an interesting point. Since Zip sales are falling like cliff divers in Acapulco, at least according to our resident self-proclaimed Aristotle, why does it matter whether or not Nomai gets into the game? If nobody's buying Zip disks anyway, Iomega is already doomed, and Nomai is just wasting their own time and money.

But of course, the point of bear arguments is simply to take the side of the argument that's against Iomega. It doesn't matter if two of those arguments are contradictory.

BTW, my understanding is that Nomai's production capacity is perhaps 10% of Iomega's. Furthermore, they cannot add to that capacity due to constraints on the sale of Zip-making machinery.
