rr, OT, "No one is laughing now" I guess you haven't been reading the responses to your posts. Seriously, though, what makes you think the most-hated-stock on wall street is going to make it to 32? -Spank

RR, I think you are loosing it. If you are now long waiting for 32 after being so bearish over the last couple of weeks. You need your head examined. I am seeing alot of this behavior these days, so don't feel too bad. I don't think anyone out there has a clue about what's going on. Even Cramer said he couldn't see past Monday. I think I am going to go to sleep for a couple of months. I bet nothing but the volitility changes, to less of it. Is anybody else getting sick of this crap like I am? Greg

All - Herb Greenburg once again demonstrates what a lousy reporter he is, and Rocky demonstrates his eagerness to be duped. Greenberg reports messages from a grand total of TWO correspondents and wonders when "all these returns" are going to affect Iomega's bottom line. One guy has had all seven Jaz drives fail, we are told. You've got to wonder if environmental factors may be at work. One lady says "most" of the 15 Jaz disks she's had to return were not from the recalled batch. No word of how many Jaz disks she has in total. Meanwhile, in my home, two Jaz drives have worked flawlessly for months and months. Where I work, Jaz drives are common, and disk failures unheard of. We just got another ten cartridges in this week. Last Saturday, I visited the animation studio of a friend of my wife. He does high-end 3D animation using Silicon Graphics and Mac workstations. Currently, he's working on animations for a CD-ROM for the Pontiac division of GM. He had a large pile of Jaz disks, and another of Zips. Since we were there to see his work, and to see how he does it, I purposely didn't say anything about Iomega myself. Four times in the space of an hour and a half, he mentioned Iomega products. Each time it was something off-hand, like when someone called him on the phone, he said, "Hey, just come on over and I'll put it on a Jaz for you." When my wife said she'd like a copy of one of his animations, he said, "Just bring over a Zip and I'll give it to you." He just assumed that we would be able to make use of a Zip disk. Basically, Jaz drives are in use all over Silicon Alley, the section of Manhattan where all the graphics and animation studios are. They are ubiqitous because they were first to market with that capacity, they fulfilled a need, and they work. Stories about Jaz reliability problems are crap, plain and simple. Rocky, you're not wrong all the time, but you're certainly keeping your average high. - Allen

Rocky "As soon as this baby hits 32, I'm outta here. Good riddance to this clever marketer of shoddy, low-end products." actually, i think you're already "outa here". what alien spaceship captured you Rocky and screwed with your thinking? have you fathered any little half Rocky aliens in the universe lately? it's a twist, buy a company because people are so stupid they'll buy the stock too because it's just a stupid product and a stupid marketplace, which means I must be stupid too for being stupid along with all the other stupids.
