Allen,

Ken said he didn't want to lay out his predictions because he felt I would "use it against him". I said I would not, so he agreed to post them and let us all know what and how he is thinking without the attitude. What I want to see is why he usually posts so negatively about Iomega.

Last last quarter, when Sheila was logging everyone's EPS estimates, had he simply said "my model shows .02" he wouldn't have heard a peep out of me. Similarly I didn't slam the guy who said .125. We're all entitled to our opinion but I, for one, don't care for the incessant "I am better than you" attitude of just a few people who post here.

Apparently you don't feel that "letting it all hang out" and posting some honest predictions (without fear of laughs and snickers from the peanut gallery) should be encouraged.

Instead, perhaps you would rather some people continue to come here inferring that all Iomega investors are buffoons and zealots who just don't get it.

As far as I'm concerned, it takes real cajones and courage to openly make such predictions because if you are way wrong you are exposing yourself to the "hyenas" having a field day.

So, when the time comes, if you choose to slam Ken and/or me if one or both of us are proven to be off by a mile, I guess that's just what you will have to do. When the time comes, jump right in there and have a good laugh at one or both of our expenses.

Dave
