off topic - investment wise anyways just purchased a zip drive. my computer will not assign a drive letter, but I tried out a friend's and my computer did assign a drive letter under guest. for tech support I have to give a credit card number - something I do not give out over the phone, internet, etc. are there any techies lurking? from an investment point of view - do you want to invest in a company with such poor support for their customers? so far this has been a sour experience - I was very impressed with my friend's zip drive, but it's a no go for me!

RE: Iomega's webpage All, You can count down the days a little faster than you're supposed to if you go to the Iomega web page, take a look at the name of and location for the gif file of the latest show of "hands," and then enter URLs for the same thing with the number decreasing down to 1. That is, for 8 days left, the file is named an8days.gif, and for 7 days, it's named an7days.gif, etc. Essentially, the number of fingers decreases appropriately, and it drops to a single hand at 5. (And no, when it gets to just 1, it doesn't flip you the bird.) When you try an0days.gif, though, you get an error message, and I tried snooping all over the place looking for a clik.gif and similar things, with no luck. I couldn't find any reference to, or image of, a "Clik" anywhere. Either I didn't snoop craftily enough, or it's not up yet, or they've intelligently not permitted it yet, or all this "Clik" hype is bogus, or.... FYI. My guess is for an n.hand onslaught, full stop. KE told us as much in the conference call. Most of the visitors to the web page, of course, don't know the conference call from squat, so for them, a simple rollout of a non-vapor n.hand will be a big "announcement" in a way it won't be for us. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
