Mr. Reid,

You state:

>>If we apply this analogy to removable drives, then it is conceivable that Iomega can set the standard for crappy consumer stuff, but Syquest can rule the high performance professional market segment.<<

So, how successful can Iomega be if they sell tens of millions of those crappy little zip drives, and hundreds of millions of those high margin "crappy" little zip disks?

BTW Rocky, did you follow your SYQT investment enought to know when they first "launched" the 4.7 gig drive? Well see Thursday if Iomega delivers on its vaporware; when do you think SyQuest delivers on their vapor?

<<What's next for Comdex?>>

Keep shorting Iomega up to COMDEX, then when you get shredded again maybe you can come back and explain to us how "great" your other investments are doing.

Don't bet too much on either Sparq or Quest; take a good hard look at their potential and how far they're behind. and don't discount a counter move by our friends in Roy - good luck, you'll need it after this week.

bye-bye
