I used to think IOM would have a big success. However, my recently experience has shown Iomega has the worst technical support I have ever seen. I bought a zip drive for my workplace. Apparenlt, the installation program somehow screwed up and the computer would not recognize the zip drive. I'm a computer professional and I can tell it's a bug in the installation program. I have been trying to contact IOMEGA for free, but failed. On the manual with the zip, there are three ways to contact Iomega: 1-800-xxxxxxx: You have to have a credit card to talk and they decide if the problem is iomega's fault. If not, they'll charge you $15 for the call. 1-900-xxxxxxx: You pay about $2.00 per min to talk. I'm afraid to call, because my employer might think I have called phone sex lines. Email: support@iomega.com: Emailed this address and got a reply telling me iomega has changed the address to info@support.iomega.com. I resent my message to the new address, but my message was bounced back because invalid host name. I have been thinkg to buy IOM shares, but now I think I'll stay away.

FIDO- Your impending doom call seems to be getting old. Perhaps another bark worse than the bite. Doesn't anyone else get the sense that we are watching a bottom form in the Japanese market?...Their brokerage houses are capitulating.... banks are next...15000 on the Nikkei is key to the banks and the Japanese know it...The structural problems, issues strictly tabboo two years ago, will need to be addressed head on, as investors become convinced that the temperature of the market waters is right for anything but spectating... The bad news will only be a little more than half thru when their market finally starts to climb again, for real. How much longer must we wait? Perhaps, not nearly as long as you think... Mike Long IOM and leveraged to boot!

FIDO: <<Did anyone else catch that $28 Billion weep that that Yamaichi CEO put on? Truly a magnificent effort. He wouldn't last long in the SI kitchen, I believe ...>> I also saw that weep on CNBC today. I couldn't beleive it when I saw it. Here's a senior executive weeping on public television pleading for other brokerage firms to find jobs for all the employees of the defunct firm that are about to lose their job. You'd never see such pathetic public display here. Zead
