Re: license

Well FIDO, that was what I was referring to, however, a bit off. Nonetheless, IOM should not do business in any shape or form with Nomai. They used this entire clone disk issue as a scare to force IOM to license Zip disks. In my opinion, the issue to them was not to make cloned diskettes, that was never their goal, but to get a license from IOM. Talk about a short term mentality.

Remember when the issue first broke out, it took the net by storm, then the following day they issued a bunch of press releases about all these grand plans they have for the future. If one didn't know any better, one would've thought that these guys were going to put IOM out of business. Now, Nomai, to quote IOM, is just a parasite(sp?) that no one pays attention to. That whole thing was staged and they got more attention then they ever deserved.
