To All: FYI, from Zack's:

>>> SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA 1996 OCT 29 (NB) -- By Stuart Kennedy, Computer Daily News. Iomega's [NASDAQ:IOMG] smash-hit 1.0-gigabyte removable Jaz drive has yet to find its supply rhythm in Australia, despite being given a stirring jam session at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art yesterday.

Earnest executives from the Iomega base camp in Roy, Utah, filled the
museum's American Express Hall with songs of glory about the Jaz's easy installation and 3.5 megabits-per-second average data transfer time.

But Australian dealers will have to wait a little while longer before they can rake in the margins on the A$799 (internal), A$899 (external) Jaz drive.

"We were on unlimited supply for one shipment," said Iomega Australia
chief Greg Bartels. "Now we're back on allotment." Bartels promised
Iomega Australia should be back to "unlimited supply" by the middle of next month. Journalists seeking an evaluation unit were handed vouchers for future delivery.

A trickle of Jaz drives first hit Australian shores in June, and
yesterday's bash was supposed to celebrate a flood of drives into the
local channel.

Iomega also has (or will have) a range of accessories to back up the money spinning charms of the Jaz. These include carry bags and cartridge holders and the $99 Jaz Traveller parallel port connector.<<<

NB: $1(US) is approximately $1.26(AU) currently.

People will accept your idea much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.
