"Rocky, you silver-tongued devil" Edwin, if you recall, it was the shoes that Rocky got his gal that were silver-tongued. Hey, maybe this means that Rock wasn't smart enough to figure out what it means to put one's foot in one's mouth and put hers in his mouth instead... What a bootlicker. Rock, you talk about how 5% inclusion is far from the standard, what's the inclusion rate of SyJest or Phony? -Spank

Edwin & All, Got my headphones on......listening to the soundtrack to "Tomorrow Never Dies"......you guys come across pretty coool to background Bond music. Speaking of tomorrow........what do any of you expect? Techs look like curbside debris, but for some reason peripherals (of which IOM is a part!) are still looking pretty good. Is this just because they have yet to cave? I wish it were January 11th........I would be happily selling into the January effect. not my IOM though! Good luck trading this week. Hope we don't get creamed. E. Graphs "Darlin', I'm killed........"

>> <Blah blah blah> Rocky, you silver-tongued devil, do dazzle us more with your profound insights. << Edwin -- this isn't the first case of the blahs for der Crock...... To: Todd Ruff (17902 ) From: Rocky Reid Tuesday, Mar 11 1997 3:19PM EST Reply # of 39888 blah blah blah... Amid all of your sarcasm and personal insults, the share price keeps declining. I might not be that good, but I'm evidently better than you. ------ And, what had Mr. Ruff said to cause such an oratoracle barrage? ...... To: Rocky Reid (17899 ) From: Todd Ruff Tuesday, Mar 11 1997 3:03PM EST Reply # of 39891 >>(as I've said before, Iomega can sell 50 Million Zips and STILL not make a penny in profit if margins are not there)<< Rocky, As I've asked you before - do you really understand what Iomega manufacturers and how they make profit? >>2) The "What have you done for me lately?" mentality as it applies to stockholder satisfaction and interest.<< Let me see, they've become a standard item with one direct vendor and have signed up all ten of the top selling OEMs, including CPQ. They've extended their market potential outside of the traditional PC marketplace, and they've positioned themselves to take advantage of the convergence of technology. Not bad. >>3) Iomega's P/E ratio is ~35, and this is too high for the more conservative investor to buy into.>> Conservative investor? High technology? Come on is that the best you've got. >>4) $50 Rebates for Zips are cutting into margins right now.<< I see again you have a real strong grasp of their business model. Good Rocky keep it coming, you are so enlightening. >>5) Competing technologies are always on the horizon (from CD-Rewrite and DVD, to Syquest's Rocket), and always a threat not to be taken lightly.<< Well, one of them is a competing technology. Can you guess which one Rocky? You haven't been able to so far. >>If these reasons still escape you.<< Slipped right through my fingers. God your good. ------ round and round we go, eh? Only thing that has changed is that I'm up about 100% since buying when Rock said bail.
