< Isn't that like replacing a pitcher in the 6th inning when he has a no-hitter going? >

A reporter once told Don Drysdale (who was not at the game that day) that Sandy Koufax had pitched a no-hitter. He replied, "Who won?"

That pretty much sums up my fears about IOM right now. They're holding the opponent(s) to no hits, but can't seem to score any runs of their own. Sooner or later, they're gonna walk in a run. It's time to get some good offense going.

So I agree with FIDO that we should have seen ramping by now. And I mean internals as well as externals. The Floppy did not become a standard until the internal version was widely available. The competition is not standing still and it seems IOM has let the better part of a golden opportunity slip through it's fingers - 2 whole quarters gone and no internals yet! What I want to know from KE is: 1) When will the excuses stop, and the internals be available at ALL retail outlets and 2) When will the new products (Zip+, BUZ, JAZ2, Recordit and DittoMax) REALLY ship? I hope he realizes that for many of us shareholders, his credibility is on the line this time.
