I never mentioned a price, and think it is pointless to guess.
I couldn't care about $79 vs. $150, EOM drives = more disks sold,
that's where the profit can/will come from (if they ever get one).
Re: FACT1 thru FACT7 - I agree w/ all of them. However, a
variant of FACT6 could be "IOM is making great efforts to
reduce internal cost, to enhance profit margins, and those
efforts can eventually result in a profit".
I argue that if market share keeps expanding (thank
you Dell) then eventually IOM may convert that into profits,
due to my revised FACT6 above (higher margin).

Who said these things? Not me. I'm not inventing scenarios
for the same reason I think you shouldn't - it is complete
guesswork. Your $50 is a good guess, as good as any other,
since it is a GUESS!! (your word, here).
Their product lines are clearly NOT profitable, and I never
said they were, you must have me confused w/ another poster.

I'll blast posts if they are guesses, where those guesses are
supporting positions and opinions. I'm certainly not in
dreamland, please show me any statement that shows I am. I think
IOM has lots of problems to fix, and I'm not certain they can
do it. I hope they can, and feel there are better than even
odds that they can - but by no means am I certain - no one can
be - it's that magic word "GUESS" that applies here as well.
