Elmer, calm down. Prediction is hard to do - especially of the future. :) G. geocities.com

Pathetic little man, not acknowledge their GROSS errors This is the height of hilarity coming from someone who has NEVER admitted they were wrong. Even when your errors were demonstrated beyond doubt. What a strange sad world you live in.

since you're a flash "expert" Rocky, tell us why SSTI with the Q agreement today is not a better buy than SNDK at the current market cap to sales ratio. SSTI has 1/2 the revenue of SNDK yet 8.5X less marketcap. Yet's it's SSTI's superflash that is being considered by Q and ERICY (among others) for inclusion in a few cell phones. Although SSTI has had losses primarily due to development costs, compared to SNDK's gains, given today's announcement you'd think SSTI has a chance of getting into the more abundant mobile phone market, i.e., it would be my personal assumption (although not backed up with significant research here)that whoever wins the mobile phone market would be a stronger flash entity than that entity which wins the camera market (as in SNDK). The reason is that mobile phones lend themselves to the need for a memory device, like flash (or clik!), whereas with digital cameras, flash has been a luxury item. The mobile phone is a necessary item in today's business market. The digital camera has limited business presence. So, SSTI's work with Q seems promising for them. The market is clearly putting a significant premium on the inclusion of the "drive" for SNDK et al (even though the drive mechanism is relatively inexpensive), yet disregarding the cost of the medium which is relatively costly. In IOM's case the cost of the clik! drive is relatively expensive and the medium is sigificantly cheap.

>>Disk Trend now offers the lame excuse that because Sony screwed up, that sales fell short (more than 40%!)? Please! Disk Trend screwed up, plain and simple.<< Elmer - You're only making yourself look even more stupid. You criticize DiskTrend for missing a market forecast for three years in the future. In March, you predicted that IOM would be at 2.50 on June 31st, 1999. Ignoring the fact that there are only 30 days in June (giving you a calendar error of a bit over 3%), we must note that your estimate missed by well over 40%. You must be feeling even more insecure than usual lately. That's the only thing that could explain these stunningly inane posts coming in such high volumes. I am truly sorry that you are so miserable. I'm also sorry that we all have to suffer because of your neurosis. - Allen
