I wonder why Bateh refuses to give sales numbers about the Bomb! drive. I think I know why. Sales have stalled badly. The initial rush of Iomega Investors ran out and bought it, now there's no one left who wants the damn thing. One major on-line vendor I track has moved only 12 Bomb! drives in the last 3 days. This same vendor delivered over 1000 units in its initial shipment. The reason is simple: there is simply no need for this Bomb! drive. It is a technological curiosity- nothing more. A gadget Freak Show, if you will. 40MB Bomb!'s domain in the technology world is inside a filthy, dung-filled cage next to the 2-headed wolf-boy in some seedy, decrepit travelling carnival.
