RE: Channel check (Albany, NY) To all (just using your post to get on, Allen), Braved the crowds yesterday at COMP USA in Albany, NY, area. Iomega products were better stocked than I have ever seen them before. Boxes and boxes of everything, and I do mean everything, including stuff like the Zip and Jaz SCSI cards, with internal Zips being the only exception. As usual, they were nowhere to be found. If this is any indicator, internal Zips are the only production bottleneck they've got just now. FYI. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)

Allen, when i saw that article this morning my first thought was that people are gonna need a place to store that data and iomega makes the products of choice (hey, that's the way i see the world), .... "but Teddy," i said to myself. "Let's just waite and see if anyone else notices this huge potential market." Well, you and Steve did so i guess i'm not imagining applications. Oh, here's a little clik!&#153 thing to think about: From Michael Kanellos, "Handheld market accelerating" C\Net's News.com, Nov 13, 1997 "Approximately 1.4 million handheld computers were shipped in the first half of 1997, compared to 1.6 million in [all of] 1996....3Com's Pilot accounted for 66 percent of sales while Windows CE-based computers represented 20 percent of sales." IMHO, handheld computer sales might start to grow a little faster if there was a cheap, easy way to move data from various other devices to the handheld..... smile, and say "clik!&#153"
