hello, HELLO..........

Rock, there does not look like a massive sell-off today. Look at the chart. No volume.

We have been thru this Nomai thing before. A few weak shares sell and iom is back the next day.

Guess KE will resign, iom will tank, and the lawyers give up protecting patents. NOT!

<<I did not mean to imply that. Iomega sells the disks at a high premium. That's
their
profit--the key to the "give away the razors and sell them the blades" business
model that they rely upon. This gives room for Nomai to undercut their prices if
Nomai is willing to make less profit on the disks.>>

So, are you saying that there is only one brand of razor blades? My local drug store
has a number of brands. Please tell me which one is the real brand so that I won't
accidently buy a pretend, fake, store display brand.

Thanks.

I suggest buying the blade that works with your razor (even if it's more expensive).

I'm not sure what you are saying. It sounds like you are agreeing with me. Since Nomai is entering the 'razor blade' market, Iomega has to lower the prices on its 'blades'. Furthermore, as you point out, most consumers don't know the difference between razor blades. Thus, they won't know or care about any differences between Nomai's and Iomega's cartridges.
