That's right, Ken, we're in a classic "Catch-22" situation. Iomega isn't going to make any money until their drives are in all of the computers out there. And Iomega won't make any money if manufacturers OEM the drives because they will have to give them away. We might as well go home and use our stock certificates as kindling. That's why Seagate is only a 9-billion dollar company, and, incidentally, why IBM is only a 170-billion dollar company. If either of these companies were to drop their doomed disk drive business, their stock would shoot up overnight, because investors would immediately recognize their vastly improved potential. "IOMEGA will never make another penny!" At least you have dropped that line from your set speech. It's easy to predict the future, but a lot harder to be right about it. Come on back when you're right about something (I mean real news, not the random walk we call a stock market). Cameron "Look out for #1. Don't step in #2 either."
