Non-Tech : Any info about Iomega (IOM)? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

On March 10, Rocky reasoned >> When CD-Rewrite comes out, it
will certainly cut into IOM's sales whether they be Jaz, Zip, or Ditto. A 640MB Rewritable CD will not be
proprietary like Iomega's stuff, and therefore it will be adapted very quickly. <<

Now he says that the Sony drive will bury Zip/Iomega even though it is not only proprietary, but also the property of a competeing box maker.

I wrote that post about IOM forming a base at $15 and not going any lower. Your post makes it look like the Rock wrote it. I was right on too, as IOM more than doubled from that point. Joel and Rock both were refusing to cover. They wouldn't listen. At that time, I believe the rumor was that the Rock had shorted at about $16.
