To all Iomega employees, THANK YOU!!! Through your hard efforts I now have the financial means to retire before my 40th birthday. The profits I've received by investing in Iomega has given me the freedom to choose how to spend my precious time. A luxury that I value greatly. Special thanks has to go to Kim Edwards. Its through his vision and leadership that has propelled Iomega on this incredible growth story. I purchased a Zip drive in May 95 and thought it was a great machine. I liked it so much I put 80% of my investing funds into Iomega stock. A very crazy and risky thing to do. But I had the vision the Zip could replace the 1.44 floppy drive. The giants of the storage industry, like Seagate, seem to always focus on increasing speed and capacity, so I figured they may overlook the potentical of the Zip drive, and stay out of the floppy upgrade market that Iomega was in process of creating. And the rest is history. Wishing you and your love ones a very merry Christmas.
