Erik,

In reference to Victoria's statement concerning a possible OEM with Compag, I will take a shot at explaining why she may have stated this as a possibility.

First of all, the #1 problem that IOMG has had in the past was with regards to obtaining various "parts." What has IOMG done to improve this situation? IOMG has Entered into Partnerships with the likes of SEAGATE, INTC, MOTOROLA, ADAPTEC ,etc.. This, in effect, alleviates the "parts" problem and demonstrates IOMG's willingness and proven ability to follow a previous stated goal of going after OEMs.

As the #1 manufacturer of computers in the world, at this point in time, Compaq would need to know that a potential supplier can supply the necessary parts required. Now it seems that this problem has been solved. Of course, unlike other potential suppliers, IOMG has a proven track record for astronomical sales of it's Zip product.

With numerous OEM deals already put to bed, parts situation alleviated, and an incredible base of customers, IOMG NOW has what it takes to achieve its most important OEM deal, Compaq.

Victoria, I could not resist! Your gutsy call makes a lot of sense due to recent developments! Please post your reasons why you believe that the Compaq OEM deal is on its way. I hope I covered at least some of the possible reasons that could lead to an OEM deal with Compaq!
