Linda, the numbers at the bottom will be of interest...

The question today: Can SyQuest bounce back?
SyQuest Technology Inc., once the leader in removable,
high-capacity computer storage products, stumbled badly in
the face of Iomega Corp., then slid into obscurity. Today, it's
trying to stage a comeback, but the star remains Iomega, which
now accounts for nearly nine of every 10 removable cartridge
disk drives sold in the world.


Some numbers from the full story:

shipments of the kind of removable hard disk cartridge
drives Syquest makes will grow from 1.7 million in 1997
to 5.5 million in 2000.

Syquest also has a shot at at grabbing a piece of the
market for high-capacity floppy drives, dominated today by
Iomega's 100 MB ZIP drive. Disk/Trend says shipments of
these will swell from 8.9 million in 1997 to 26.6 million
in 2000.
