This is really becoming irrelevant to this thread, however I do not think that Pinnacle has ever intended to compete with IOMEGA, I think that their goal is the large companies who need their APEX 4.6 Gb optical and their soon to come APEX II 7Gb storage, they also offer Juke Boxes that hold Terrabytes of information. IOMEGA is more popular for home and office use. This CDRW is the first product that they have that can , attract IOM customers, especially the ones that need many libraries of information, and long affordable shelf life storage. This is a good beginning for a company that had little to offer to the public in the past. Besides this point, if you look at the volume in the last few weeks, you will see that PNCL is being accumulated, but again this is a speculative move, which is irrelevant to this thread. it belongs to the PNCL thread.
I think that the Zip drives are great, but I wish that the Jazz was cheaper. the media price is the only consideration I have in mind. when I back up, I usually don't care how long it takes, since I am not sitting and waiting for it. besides tapes are very slow when you need your data back, and they can not be used as additional CD capacity.
This is wearing me out, I hope IOM goes up another 20 % , that would make you and me happy, when PNCL goes up, it will go 100% to 500% up. that will make me happier. however I own both stocks, so I hope they all go up. |
