Dominant OEM Presence? Zip in six of seven 500 Mhz P III boxes is indeed heartening. Then again, Zip owns the high-end power user market. Highly unlikely that manufacturers would clutter their high-margin flagships with 'free' SuperSlows. What's more important though, dominant presence in computer rags or on retail shelves? I was in a big busy Staples yesterday and I started counting..... Imation over Iomega by a 3-1 margin. OK, so they're probably making no money on the drives but, depending on the depth of Imation's commitment and pockets, IOM could be in for a very rude wake-up. One machine that really caught my eye.....nifty little Compaq 333Mhz with plenty of up-to-date bells and whistles (about three times the capability of my three-year-old $3K+ Dell).....SuperDisk built-in ......$599. Scary. Fully expect Q1 results to include some kind of mumble about a stumble in OEM sales. I see annual shareholder mtg is scheduled 21 April. Will be interesting to see how this timing coincides with earnings release date. Time to start thinking of some questions for Mr. Glore. Still long but IOM is testing my bullishness. Don't care much for the company operating in stealth mode.
