Not an *absolute* fool, since I, unlike yourself, have a reasonable basis to believe the "carrying case" CNET category is distinct from the "PCMCIA Clik! drive* category, that had recently been ranked as high as #229 and which category, implicitly, you errantly proclaim has now fallen to #442:
I would have thought even an honest clown -- in fact, even a pompous regularly-brutish-insulting, observer with lousy forecasting skills -- would have "researched" the CNET rankings from 7/12/99 and, being keen not to make a mistake, taken notice of the following category description for the PCMCIA Clik! drive that was used on that day, since an honest clown wouldn't want to recklessly proclaim something misleading like "Flop! Falls off Cliff at CNET" based on a careless, if not deliberate, opportunistic error:
"257 Clik 40MB Pcmcia for PC Card Slot in PC Notebooks"
*This* was the category description for the PCMCIA Clik Drive when it occupied CNET position #257 on 7/12 (and #229 on 7/10)...and the category that is now charged has "fallen" to #442. Given that this category description had been used over the last two weeks on CNET and given this category doesn't appear in today's CNET listing, what is more-reasonably "obvious" -- i.e. "reasonably obvious" to anyone except perhaps trigger-happy, quick-squirting negative-headline sleazeballs -- is that CNET simply failed to update the very category that was included in previous days' rankings leading up to today. But, given that bashers are primarily interested in disparaging Iomega with negative headline rhetoric - in typical, uncivilized right-wing-extremist propaganda style -- naturally what is "more reasonably obvious" will be tossed aside when opportunity for negative headlines presents itself.
These two posts reinforce the existence of the category of Clik! Drive (PCMCIA) that now is claimed to have "fallen" to #442 (from #229?...#257??):

The following are not the same categories on CNET, and should not be compared:
"Clik 40MB Pcmcia for PC Card Slot in PC Notebooks"
"Clik! PC Card Drive Clik Disk 40MB Carrying Case" |
