The more things change... I just returned from a nice monotony break and took a look at our little board here -- over 1,000 posts in a week. At times, as I read the posts I couldn't tell if we were talking IOMG (oh yeah IOM now) or the more boring topic of politics. Good to see free speech isn't free of debate.

But it was nice to see "bull" hasn't changed his stance on IOMG even after his dire predictions that the company was going to report lower than expected earnings -- nice call bull.

Some things that I have contemplated that I would like to throw out to the lions:

* Do you bears think that all the weak hands ($30+ holders) are already flushed out of IOMG, so we won't actually see the resistance levels that are so enthusiastically debated. And isn't the picture better now going forward than say last March when there weren't as many OEMs, or parts suppliers to drive the cost of manufacturing down.

* Speaking of costs - what impact will the new team of parts "idiots" (I use the term only because of those who feel us longs are idiots to continue holding) like Motorola, TI and Intel (those idiots) have on the cost of manufacturing our little products (sorry bull that is product not paper).

* Speaking of little - how 'bout that new 15mm Zip. What impact will that have on Q1 and going forward...

* Speaking of Q1. Now that this "challenging" quarter is over and the slowest quarter of the season is behind us, how do you bears feel about the next two "strong" retail quarters.

* Speaking of retail... what impact will we see on the Iomega brand when a new quarter of advertising is unleashed -- you can bet a new wave of TV and print spots will significantly impact point #4.

* Finally. IOM is entering the trade show season. In the next three months we have COMDEX, CES and Macworld San Francisco to look forward to for new announcements on product extensions and possibly new lines. KE has consistenly shown he has cards up his sleeve that none of us have been able to predict -- I just try to keep in mind what Iomega means when they say "Personal Storage Solutions".

Too bad that freedom of speech is being suppressed by a few on this board.

take care all
