Iomega being shorted Rod, glad to here you say there's no more shares of Iomga to short. During Iomega's big run up earler this year Iomega was one of the most heavly shorted stocks on wall street. I went to Circut City today to check Iomega out. Well as posted earler on this thread, sales people at Circut City can win a new computer by selling computers with Zip pre installed. Also I saw Hewlett Packard and other computer brands with Zip pre installed. Circur City also had Zip and Ditto External drives hooked up to computers for demonstrion purposes. Rod what you are missing is the business plan. Simply put short Zip and get Zapped. There is something going on here I don't really understand. I here a lot of talk about 200MB Zip and other storage with more space. What I don't understand is for me Jo aravage computer user I really don't see a need for a storage device with more than the 100MB Zip offers. Ok it took 5 Zip disk to back up my hard drive. I got a 1.6 Gig hard drive with <500MB of stuff on it. After backing up my drive I have yet to fill any Zip disk up with anything. I do down load a lot of graphics but heck all of them fit on one ZIP. So to me it seems unless someone has a professional use for BIG storage needs Zip is more than anough. Zip cost less than anything out there with similar functions. So why would Jo aravage computer user spend more money for DVD, CD read write, Ect.? Long and strong on Iomega. I know what I own. Bob
