Darrell Any thoughts on IOM this AM? Still can't log on to ETRADE!!! I've been on hold for 45 min trying to talk to someone (yes, I'm using a speaker phone and I hope they hear the worst echo in the modern technological age). Zebedee

I figured out where the selling pressure is coming from . . . CompUsa I was in my local store again yesterday. For the 2nd time in 2 weeks, they had no zip drives (yet they had a full end cap of 10 pack zip discs - go figure). The manager told me they've been out of stock for over 1 week, maybe 2. They did have an Iomega made display thingy with the Jaz, Zip and Ditto displayed. They did have the 7 GB Ditto for sale and displayed. They did have a full shelf of LS-120s (hee hee). Next time I go there, I'm going to mark the boxes to see if the same ones are there the next time I go in. So, in my estimation, it is CompUsa execs that are shorting Iomega. It is a global conspiracy to undermine the company by keeping the best product out of stock!!!
