I think one thread should be enough if people limit their posts here. I definitely like Gary's Volume analysis and short term predictions. But people clutter the thread too much talking about their individual trades like My price is better than or worser than yours, I sold at 12PM and bought at 12:01 etc etc. The thread should talk about the long term as well as short term movement of the stock along with the news. But I guess people get carried away too much talking about their own trades than over all movement/news about IOM. Oh. well. I am not complaining or trying to censor. I am willing to skip all the noise and look at the important info where ever it is - in single thread or 1000s of threads. Gary, i am your big fan of volume analysis and so i will come after you where ever you go ;-) Have a nice weekend. -senthil

Does anyone remember the "Civil" thread? Boy, what a loser that was. Riz? I think my last sentence in my last post probably didn;t parse -- probably something to do with having to drive to Sausalito and back with the roadmakers working on 19th Ave. My message was that I post on ANY INFO and I'll always post there -- despite the best efforts and good intentions of Yikes, Gary, and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all. Have a great week-end while I count the Danegeld under the mattress. FIDO

Here's an article in a trade rag re the new Micron PC with Zip standard as the A-drive. I know it's not new to us oldtimers, but is something that new IOM investors needed to see. From Info World Nov 17, 1997 p.10 by Dan Briody: Micron is beefing up its desktop product offerings at Comdex this week by adding a high powered Pentium II based system, as well as teaming up with Iomega to include Zip drives as a standard feature in future Millenia desktops. The new ClientPro 766Xi commercial PC, which will eventually replace Micron's XLU line, features Pentium II processors with Intel's 440LX chip set and 64 MB of SDRAM. The new PC will also meet the Wired For Management (WFM) baseline specifications as put forth by Intel, according to officials. The WFM specs include Wake on LAN and DMI 2.0 for remote wake-up and remote-management capabilities. A 766Xi with a 266-MHz processor, 64MB of RAM, AGP graphics, a 17 inch monitor, and a 3.2 GB hard drive is priced at $2,599. In addition to the inclusion of Iomega Zip drives as the standard A: drive on its future consumer Millenia desktops, Micron will deliver the PCs with Norton Zip Rescue, which is a backup product that is designed to rescue all key files, in the unfortunate event of a harddrive failure. The move to incorporate the Zip drive as the standard feature on these systems signifies a major step for Iomega in its push to replace the 1.44 MB floppy drive with the Zip drive. The floppy drive will occupy the B: drive slot in the Millenias. "We're throwing all out weight behind the Zip," said Jeff Moeser, vice president of desktops at Micron. "The LS-120 drive is slow and expensive and there's not a lot of support for it," Moeser said, refering to a competing high-capacity drive. Storage analysts also have been taking note. "It's not yet a trend, but it is significant in that this is the first OEM to publicly endorse the Zip," said Fara Yale, an analyst at Dataquest, in San Jose, Calif. Zip disks have a 100 MB capacity and are removable, so users can take large quantities of file back and forth between the home and office.
