RE: Iomega's webpage
All,
You can count down the days a little faster than
you're supposed to if you go to the Iomega web
page, take a look at the name of and location for
the gif file of the latest show of "hands," and
then enter URLs for the same thing with the number
decreasing down to 1. That is, for 8 days left,
the file is named an8days.gif, and for 7 days,
it's named an7days.gif, etc. Essentially, the number
of fingers decreases appropriately, and it drops
to a single hand at 5. (And no, when it gets to
just 1, it doesn't flip you the bird.) When you
try an0days.gif, though, you get an error message,
and I tried snooping all over the place looking
for a clik.gif and similar things, with no luck.
I couldn't find any reference to, or image of,
a "Clik" anywhere. Either I didn't snoop craftily
enough, or it's not up yet, or they've intelligently
not permitted it yet, or all this "Clik" hype is
bogus, or.... FYI.
My guess is for an n.hand onslaught, full stop.
KE told us as much in the conference call. Most
of the visitors to the web page, of course, don't
know the conference call from squat, so for them,
a simple rollout of a non-vapor n.hand will be a
big "announcement" in a way it won't be for us.
Cheers, Tom (long IOM) |
