yes, Allen, I agree. The n-hand has huge potential, as long as the technical problems have been solved (I'll do a quick and dirty analysis once they post power numbers...) I think a camera with a built-in nhand, announced at Comdex, will be the best shareholders can hope for. Earnings estimates will increase, as will the share price.. with regard to Syquest... By the time that story plays out, there will be a million lawsuites and a bankrupt company that can't pay. Then laws past to prohibit this kind of thing in the future. Just watch and learn... good luck! (I may take a day trip to Comdex...If I do, I'll report here) kp

BUZZ Lives According to conference call it needed a little work. Maybe someone slipped when writing the ad copy. PC Connection catalog V 193E page 109. All the usual information on a full page ad. Nice technical write up of all the features. BUtZ also has the notation of 'ESTIMATED SHIP DATE JANUARY, 1998' Me thinks you may see just a few of these at COMDEX being put through the paces. The 'other' Joel Yes there will be a Santa Clause this year.

RE: "Bigness" of announcement Allen, Reread your post and mine. Yes, a shipping n.hand in a believably popular camera would be a big DEAL, as you say, but for those of us who already heard KE say in the CC that n.hand was going to be the bigtime centerpiece at Comdex, it's not exactly going to be a big ANNOUNCEMENT when the web site says the same thing in about a week after all the countdown theatrics. I'm as excited as you are about n.hand actually hitting the pavement and beginning to contribute to revenues. But I'm not expecting the Iomega web site to tell me anything more than that, with maybe the added fillip that it's already in a shipping camera. That's all. I'm trying to head off a whole raft of posts in a week from the overoptimistic types who'll say "gee, is THAT all, just n.hand, I was expecting Iomega to have the Sistine Chapel on the head of a pin for a buck-ninety-eight." Sorry, folks, but I think the whole finger-countdown act on their web site is just the drumroll for n.hand for those who don't follow the company as closely as we do. Believing that doesn't make me nonchalant about the contributions a successful n.hand rollout will make to the company's bottom line, but it does make me think that you're not going to get an ADDITIONAL blockbuster announcement beyond a good n.hand rollout. Boy, I sure hate that "n.hand" name. What's it supposed to stand for anyway? "In hand?" Does ANYONE on this thread think it's a GOOD name, and if so, why? Finally, does anyone recall Iomega ever saying anything about the retail cost of an n.hand disk? They've been pretty good at price points (though too high with Jaz), but I haven't a clue what would be the right point for one of these suckers. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
