Recipe for IOM Success....

I have been a Zip and Jazz user for over two years and love the products. In fact, I just installed a VST Zip in my IBM Thinkpad notebook this week...and it is terrific...and very fast!

I have also been a serious IOM investor off and on...since 1995. However, I won't touch this stock until the following occurs:

1. Microsoft and other software vendors start offering new software
on Zip disks as alternatives to CD-ROM's and 3.5" floppies.

2. The computer makers offer Zip drives "inside" the box...and 3.5"
drives "outside" the box! (or both inside)

Let's face it...IOM management has missed the boat on where the market is for Zip disks...it's the software vendors...not the consumer!

Sure...consumers will use Zip disks...I have used about 10 in the last 3 years...but have used alot more Gillette razor blades...since they "wear out"! ...BUT... software "wears out" too...it's called Windows 3.1...then Windows 95...then Windows 98, etc, etc...for EVERY software vendor in the world! This adds up to millions of disks...none of which are Zips! Go figure out that "Tie Ratio"!!!

So...Iomega...are looking for a new CEO...with vision ...and alot more ideas???...I have a bunch...just make me an offer!

Or..ask me what I told Netscape 2 years ago...and they didn't listen...now they are scrambling to do what I told them!

Doesn't anybody ask the users what they want? Oh...well!
