Sheila ****OT***** Boring Girl talk Have you ever gone and had one of those spa days where they work you over from top to bottom? Just got back from one and almost feel human again. I'd gladly turn over my entire portfolio and worldly possessions to anyone who would agree to wash my hair for me every night and paint my toenails.

RE: Backward Comopatibility. Sheila, >> Michael, It would be interesting to get Dr. Iomega's comments on the affect of the Asian Malaise on IOM's 4th quarter.<< Yes, it would. I think just about everyone here feels that there will be little or no negative impact, and possibly even a positive impact. >> Secondly, what exactly do you mean when you talk about the "channel"? << I don't remember talking about the "channel", but it's just the sales channel. Wholesalers, distributors, retail outlets, etc. >> Thirdly what is backward compatibility? << Backwards compatibility means the ability to work with the previous standard. Most companies are getting confused on this by trying to be backwards compatible with the 3 1/2" dinosaur. They don't realize that there's a new standard, and that in order to be successful, they must be compatible with the NEW standard, Iomega's Zip drive. <G> - Michael Coley - i1.net
