Rocky, You didn't get your marketing degree from one of those Barnum circus' did you? Big Announcement? As an investor in Iomega for over 3 years it was exactly what I was looking for. Maybe someday you will understand the significance of this announcement, but I doubt it - your hatred of anything Iomega will cause you to miss this boat - again. How's your beloved AOL today? Where's Joel? The bear arguments are getting more idiotic everyday.

To: Rocky Re: your comment on Iomega's "PT Barnum" tactic So I guess Syquest's contest to name a disc is "Simpson" like? And, no, I am not mad. I am quite happy, as I should be. Closing at $29 up $1 from yesterday's close. Since you don't seem to understand market dynamics, when the price is up, there are more buyers than sellers. In other words, there are more knowledgeable people (buyers) than ignorant people (sellers). Of course, Syquest's temporary run up to $6 is an example where the principle does not hold.

>>Clique is just that. A small group of people will find this device useful. In the meantime, you should look over your shoulder at the likes of Fuji to introduce something similar before next Summer.<< Rocky - This is an interesting paragraph. First you imply that the market for a device like Clik! is extremely limited. Then you tell us that Fuji will become a competitor to Iomega in this market. Why would Fuji want to enter a market that has no potential? This is a logical incongruity. Basically, Rocky, this just demonstrates what a knee-jerk naysayer you've become. Logic takes a back seat to the automatic denigration of whatever Iomega does. The Bearded One, too, has succumbed to this lately. Can we please get some bears around here who can at least put together some semblance of a logical argument? I feel like I'm engaged in a battle of wits with unarmed adversaries. - Allen
