Ken -

You weren't the naysayer to whom I was referring.

In fact, I wouldn't classify you as just a naysayer. I believe that you are able to weigh positives as well as negatives. I know that you and I tend to look at things differently, but at least you don't just automatically place a negative spin on every single move Iomega makes.

I was countering the argument that the cheapo PCs wouldn't even have room for Zip drives.

I do agree with you that the very cheapest PCs will not soon, and may not ever, include Zips as standard. That doesn't really concern me. As I said, some of them don't even have modems.

But you don't have to go too far above the thousand dollar price point before you do start seeing Zip drives included as standard equipment. Examples include a Compaq model I have seen for $1,299.

None of this means Iomega will ever return to the world of growing revenues. On the other hand, they may surprise some people.
