Rocksta's 3 Reasons to buy more IOM. "A Sermon to save the confused"

All who ignore the impact of the Zip will be crushed. Use this time of weakness to add to IOM position. Remember, we are still in the buildout phase of removable storage options.

1. Also, regardless of PC sales look at institutions. I recently took a college Excel course and much to my surprise they had spanking new Dell Optiflex with only ZIP drives. Also while others have similar products Iomega is just about ready to upgrade all lines with increased performance. (larger, faster)Keeping the 3.5 will be like holding on to your cassette player in this CD age.

2.<empowering the customer> The coming explosion of small web/digital imaging/communication devices. With the Clik Iomega stands ready to ride the wave of data storage demand. This little device will enable people to use information in more effective ways. With the Java eruption graphic load will signal the demand for Clik. Imagine the possibilities. When Palm Pilots are as common as tick tacks, instead of "bored" meetings with a Clik drive data can be immediately shared and manipulated for value. <Data = power, thus data manipulation = more power.>

3.<Life is about timing> The initial impact of Iomega. There is a point in all struggles where it appears the outcome is in doubt. D-Day, for example. While its true the Allies at one point were stalled...we know the end of the story. Iomega, like the Allied Forces is on the beach with the most products and while it appears demand has slowed..look for a breakout. In other words, this game of building a business in the digial age have everything to do with size, frequency and ability to deliver. Iomega stands ready with the total package: OEM's in place, comanufacturing in place, disks in place, new product cost paid for, and most of all a HUGE lead in unit placement. I felt a whole lot better as an IOM O.G. (for you newbies I have owned IOM when it was IOMG)when this week I was at Sams Club and I saw several people pick up Zips off a whole pallet, being purchased like it was Peter Pan multi-pak.

This is a message of hope, confidence and conviction. Dismiss these ramblings at your own peril. As for me, to quote Rome I AM OUT

PS. Kim Edwards I love you man. You are a Man. Thanks for building IOM
