Like you and most everyone else here, my understanding of zip sales in the stores are based on ad-hoc questioning of salesmen. Maybe whether or not you are a bear depends on which stores you regularly look at. Growth certainly must not always be constant. For a hot stock, though, growth must always be there. If tie ratios over the previous year's quarter did not increase, then that is negative growth. My scenario also fits in with Iomega's emphasis on Clik! and talk about it being a potentially bigger market than Zip. Trying to build new markets to escape reliance on dying ones is a standard and smart technique. Haven't any of you wondered why Iomega didn't throw a parade down 5th avenue in New York City when they shipped their 10 millionth drive? They BURIED the news about it!!! You don't do that with a product that is gaining marketshare. Losing marketshare, though....
