>>The most recent announcement out of INTC's analyst conference yesterday stated that approximately 80% of INTC's revenues in Q4 would be from the PII processor. That's a "niche" product. If it fails or there is a problem, INTC will be at 90 in no time.<<

Richard -

Intel's new processors always start out defined as "high end," which in a way might make them niche products. Just a couple of years ago, the common wisdom was that Pentiums were good for servers, but desktop users did not need anything beyond a 486. Today, the Pentium 133 is for entry level computers only.

The high end of today will be the standard of tomorrow.

In any case, you're still missing the boat in classifying Iomega's products as you do. Good luck with your shorts. I hope IOM isn't among them.
