Short interest The current short interest figures are as of December 10. Since the stock went down much more since then (closed at $28 on the 10th), you can bet that number is higher now. Regarding institutional selling driving it down, that's probably right on the money. I haven't seen a big ask taken out in 3 weeks.

>>Isn't that true that copyright will provide much stronger protection for Zip disk than patent? Suppose Iomega puts the text "Iomega Copyrighted" on each disk as bit sequence on a sector that will be accessable read only, and the drive will not work without this sequence. I believe there is no way Nomai can copy this text without violating the copyright protection.<< There are many ways that Iomega can negate Nomai. This scheme sounds viable but is outside my expertise. I do know a little bit about optics.
