>>they are the dominant leader in what they do and can hardly breakeven, what does that tell you?<< Zead - I think we agree, basically. The way I see it, if they can't make money in the personal storage business when they have (or had) a virtual lock on the market, then changing to a different product won't help. - Allen

Nokia tires Zead, >Do you think that Nokia today would have a $200B >market cap selling rubber tires and boots? Well, no, but their tires are awfully good. Their top-of-the-line snow tires, which are affectionately nicknamed "Haks" here in snowland, are all the rage with those of us around here who have to negotiate bad snow all the time. They cost a fortune, but they're worth it. My wife, who's from Pasadena and isn't exactly a snow fan, swears by them as the only technology that'll get her behind the wheel when there's snow on the roads. Speaking of which, happy Winter Solstice everyone. Cheers, Tom (still long IOM, no position in Nokia [unfortunately])
