Mary Cluney,

I grow tired of your repeated silliness.

You are bordering on libel.

Kim Edwards put together the team that created the Zip and Jaz concept. He is as responsible for those products as he is for Clik! The drives were conceived, designed, and shipped all while Kim was at the helm of Iomega.

Yes, it was a fantastic achievement for Iomega to conceive of a product and bring it to market within such a short period (between Jan, 1994 [when Kim joined Iomega] and March, 1995 [when the Zip first shipped.]) And, your repeated attempts at belittling Kim's responsibility doesn't change that fact.

If you want to continue to live in your own alternate fantasy world, go ahead, but you are dead wrong!

<<Kim Edwards WAS and is a phoney. He drove a wedge between the old Iomega personnel who developed the Zip and Jaz drives and the phoney people he brought with him (i.e., Tim Hill et al). He took credit for something that he didn't do.
He joined Iomega in early 1994 and even admitted that he didn't know what a disk drive was. The specs for the Zip Drives came out that same year and the product was on retail store shelves in early 1995. He tried to take full credit for this product and started to get rid of existing employees who were more responsible for developing the Zip and Jaz drives. >>
