Allen..... maybe couple dozen models on display. About half had built-in high capacity storage.

Zip was in one HP box and two Compaq boxes (neither in the current Presario line-up). SuperD was in most Compaq models on display (all but one under 2K, I think). Also, couple of NEC boxes and one other brand which escapes me. Some IBM on the shelves but don't think that was it.

Not exactly a computer superstore but the closest thing you'll find to a full-line supplier of office supplies and equipment on Hilton Head Island. Doesn't get much better over in Savannah.....the Circuit City over there is below pitiful. Maybe it's happening at Sam's Club or Sears :-).

Regret to also note that first couple months Staples was open they had two really large display areas for removable storage. It was ALL Iomega except the token box or two from competition. The main storage area is now about 25% SuperD.....the smaller display area is now ALL CD product from HP.

Nothing bleeding or even leading edge in these parts but the store is busy and computer section especially busy.

I don't think it's a good sign.

FWIW, I have thousands of IOM shares and no immediate intention to sell. That said, I have serious concerns about Mr. Glore's ability to market a consumer product.....the SIZZLE is history (except on this board).

Best regards & luck - Mike
