Spank: Darrell said << but if certain factors of which you're aware play out, it could be at $17 instead before rising again. now there's encouragement for you. with strong factors the short term could be $37 to $41, without them?>> My interpretation of that is he's referring to Nomai and nothing else. It's kind of cryptic as Darrell tends to be.

RE: Darrell's post (speculating) To all (not directly at you, Spank), Another possibility is that Darrell is hinting about the Sony drive that's been announced, rather than about the Nomai suit. From what I've seen on this thread, I think that is more of a wild card than the Nomai issue is. If, and I emphasize that I start this sentence with an if, their drive turns out to be cheap, and fast, and high-capacity, and backwards-compatible, AND ALSO if Sony markets it well and produces it in quantity and without any quality problems (this last being virtually a given for any Sony product), then I suspect it could be one of the only Zip challengers left with even a ghost of a chance of unseating the Zip as the unchallenged "standard" after the floppy. Sony had better hurry, though. This is just my informed speculation, of course, based on close reading of this thread and on comparing all the claims about "threats" to Iomega of one sort or another against the past history of such things. Take it or leave it. And to Darrell, thanks for the hint. Given your situation, I suspect you've gone very, very close to the edge to send us that cryptic but helpful message. You weren't a Kremlinologist, or the Oracle of Delphi, in a prior life, were you? <g> Just for the record, I'm not selling on this rumor. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
