CNET Business has positive article on IOMEGA. Going back to court today on NOMAI injunction, but points out that output would be very small and the demand for disks is getting so high that it practically calls for another manufacturer to meet demand. Also emphasizes brand loyalty and compatability.

Zeb: I don't want to see another split in this stock until it's 100 or more. I hate this split in some ways and like it in others. BTW: Thanks for the correction - you might have guessed I have no kids.

RE: Buying and/or holding now ZBD, I'm with you. Ain't nobody gonna get my shares in the low twenties or, gulp, below that. They didn't get them there in 1996 or early 1997, and they won't now. The fundamentals a year or two out are still okay. Frank Drummond has convinced me that Iomega can effectively counter the HiFD, if it ever appears, with the Zip 200, and I'm pretty confident that Iomega can modify its drives enough at any time to prevent Nomai and other gnats from breaking their lock on the media. So, my target is still $60 (or $30 post-split) sometime late 1998 (optimistic) or 1999 or, if I have to, 2000. And if Clik works bigtime, I may shoot a little higher than that, though at this point I'm not committed to it. Truff, about Cramer and trading versus being truly long, I'll readily grant you that aggressive trading is more profitable, but only if one is competent at it. I'm not. I've never been able to get under the skin of herds very well. So I settle for knowing a winning tortoise of a company when I see it, especially in areas where I'm knowledgeable. It beats the overall market appreciation, and I can live with that. I do envy Linda that beautiful Jag, though--my first car was a 1963 Triumph TR4--so maybe if you hang around and teach us slow learners a bit more, I'll start to get the hang of your style of living on the edge and earn myself a sports car. <grin> Indeed, that's part of the reason I follow this thread every day, that is, for the tutoring. It complements the entertainment value of this cyberlocation. I certainly don't need to be here daily to support my multi-year long-term strategy. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
