>>whether Clique drives will somehow corrupt directories and crash in PDA's and cameras is uncertain.

The same argument can be applied to the new flavor of SyCrap.

>>when the stock fails to meet expectations.

That's it. You're uninvited.

The UN Security council never resolves things in a timely manner.
It will take weeks before a vote determines if anything will happen.

I'll have a Johnny Walker Black on the rocks w/ a twist.

With a nervous world market, IOM's rise tomorrow is not a sure thing. I just hope that some of the people here don't get burned when the stock fails to meet expectations.<<

Rocky -

First, drives don't corrupt directories, that's really a function of software. Second, it's rather silly to start claiming that a product which has not even begun to ship is unreliable. Especially for one who was willing to buy a SparQ drive based on the spec sheet alone.

Third, I don't think we're all counting on a big rise tomorrow. A lot of us are in for a longer term.

As for news about Iraq grabbing headlines away from Iomega, I really wouldn't worry. N.hand/Clik may be big, but it could never have been expected to be front page news. I'll be satisfied with the business section.

Rocky,

I can wait, I think a few others that hold IOM also have the ability to wait. If it takes another year for the results to hit the bottom line, that's just another year to increase my position.
