* Iomega announces shipment of 11 millionth Zip Drive
Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM) today announced that global shipments of its award-winning Zip drive, first introduced in March 1995, have surpassed
eleven million units. As the new standard in the high-capacity segment of the removable storage market, the Zip drive's prevalence in today's computing
environments enables customers to easily access their stuff.
"Having important files accessible when we want them is imperative in the information age and with the Zip drive, access is virtually limitless," said Ted
Briscoe, president and general manager, personal storage division at Iomega. "With the pervasiveness of the Zip drive, customers can be confident that
from their workplace to home to service bureaus like Kinko's, they are likely to find a Zip drive."
Iomega's Zip drive is an affordable personal storage solution for today's increasingly sophisticated computing needs. The Zip drive's unlimited capacity
(through 100MB Zip disks) enables customers to maximize their computers' ability to download Internet files, store and transport digital photographs and
create multimedia presentations.
Each Iomega 100MB Zip disk provides 70 times the capacity of traditional floppy disks, giving consumers virtually unlimited storage capacity, increased
flexibility and a built- in backup system. Fast enough to run business and multimedia applications, the Zip drive brings a new dimension of flexibility to
today's powerful personal computers. Iomega's Zip Tools software, also included with the drive, makes it easy for consumers to manage, share and save
their information. Zip drives and Zip disks are available worldwide through OEMs, VARs, system integrators, distributors and retailers.
Iomega also announced today that it will no longer be updating each million unit Zip drive shipment, as it has done previously. Iomega does, however,
anticipate providing an indication of its Zip drive milestones at its quarterly earnings announcements and upon reaching certain other milestones which the
Company deems significant.
