Weird.

As I said earlier....... it just gets curiouser and curiouser


I'm not usually susceptible to conspiracy hypotheses, but this does get stranger the more you think about it. For an interesting comparison of how a CEO handles a conference call, read the CREAF thread. Earnings came in ok but revenue growth seemed anemic. The tone of the call leads one to believe business couldn't be better, they're positioned to grow by leaps and bounds, the stock price is ludicrously low, etc. All of which I hope is true, but I wouldn't get that from just looking at the numbers. I think any IOM supporter on this thread could have taken the information presented and made it look like a spectacularly successful quarter.

The advertising will be interesting - If they somehow (maybe through links at their home page to sites with great stuff to download) manage to sell one or so additional Zip disk per installed drive by the end of the year, that alone could come close to paying for the campaign.

Regarding tie ratios : is the number inherently important? Which would be more beneficial to IOM's bottom line at the end of 1998 - 30 million installed drives with a 6:1 tie ratio or 20 million drives with an 8:1 ratio?
