<< talking to it's customers and sales outlets >>

As an example, I have contacts at compusa, circuit city, and best buy. They give me indications as to quarterly sales of all Iomega products. I've been tracking this data for 4 years.

I've learned to correlate this data to roughly extrapolate Iomega sales. It's also helpful in spotting trends. It's great for noting relative rates of sales between products, and comparing this to the initial ZIP explosion.

I've used this data in the past to show this thread how external CLIK! was failing, 2 months before earnings release. No one cared. I used this to show how ZIP was topping out. No one cared.

I now have data on ZIP, CD-RW, PC-CLIK, and PCs sold with ZIP vs. PCs sold in other periods. But again, no one cares. I'm not going to waste 2 hours of my time to post it. And if I did, I would get attacked. What a waste...
