ALL, an article... smh.com.au:80/computers/content/971028/news/news4.html <Previewed to the IT media last week, the Jaz 2 relies on improved disk surfaces and new head technology to deliver twice the capacity of Iomega's original Jaz drive. The unit is also up to 40 per cent faster than the Jaz 1, with an average sustained transfer rate of 7.35Mb a second compared to Jaz 1's 5.4Mb a second and a burst rate of 20Mb a second fed through a Ultra SCSI connection.> Linda

I don't know why I sold my IOM options this morning. I am glad I did...so glad. I later couldn't resist the price so I jumped back in the stock for about 1 hour, until that did not prove to be a smart move. I'm sure many of us lost a lot, but my lost in APM Friday scared me silly and I got lucky for once --- I was mostly in cash at 10 am. Purchased a few IOM options when we were 340 points down on the DOW. I think I have enough in IOM. Can anyone lead me to another IOM so I can at least say I'm diversified? Thanks in advance. Roger

I walked by the Empire State Building today at about 5:30 and did not see any dead bodies or scuff marks. I took the subway down to Wall Street and did not see drunken traders lining the streets like it was skid row. Everything seemed totally normal. The usual number of sirens and honking cabs. I will check a few of the bars tonight to see if anyone's unusual. Don't forget we've got a full moon coming soon... I had a limit order to buy some IOM Nov 30 calls at 1/2. The G.D. thing never got executed! I can't believe how stubborn that call was today given a low in the 23s. As long as you don't have short-term options, everything's going to be f-i-n-e. Trufflette, don't worry, I lost all my money off of short-term out-of-the-money calls from mid-August to mid-September. One of the darkest, most humiliating times of my life. Now that I'm out of money with only a few bucks left, I think this might be a chance to build myself back up. For all of us, I am confident that IOM will build itself back up too. Thanks, Phil PS: Channel check seconds ago on Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges -- no jumpers seen yet...
