>To the extent other companies will manufacture and sell zips, Iomega will have to make it worth their while.< These companies now produce floppy drives that sell for $19 retail. They make maybe 50 cents a drive (if that). I think they see making Zip drives with several dollars profit as "worth their while". Come on B.O. I know its Saturday but think through your whole statement before you type.

>> Iomega will have to make it worth their while. << I see that FD ready beat me to the response on this one, so I'll just toss out a couple of comments.... -as FD mentioned a few posts ago,there really is a business plan behind what we are watching unfold. It will take a couple of years to be fully developed. When we adopt a tick-buy-tick / event-by-event perspective, it is all to easy to lose sight of the power of IOM's basic plan. -IOM could (should?) give the damn drives away. It's the disks and always has been. -Wiz has finally conceded that IOM is not a one trick pony commodity schleping technofiz company??!!! UFF DA!! -killer full moon just now poppin' over the hills as I type this, WOOOOOWWWWW!!! hope ya'll have (had) a good view of it too -OT to FD -- no slopes today... left them to the weekend hordes, besides I skied my legs silly trying to abuse as much fresh powder as possible after ast week's storms. It was a "honey do" and recovery day at the hacienda today, Hey, did you see in the Post where they left a guy stranded on the lift in Vail's back bowls? I'm guessin' it'll them at least $10MM.
