RE: SyQuest 10-Q Comments on Iomega board:

FYI, there are several comments over on the Iomega board. Here are some of the more substative ones:

Message 3063440

Included in the new SYQT 10-K filing from this afternoon is word that SYQT is being sued over the use of the "SPARQ" name by the good people at "SPARC" International

Message 3064187

Rocky hopes SYQT dips to $2 per share so he can buy more. He says "Wall Street loves SYQT, and wants it to succeed."

Message 3064628

Interesting how they have $25MM loan due and payable in March. Wonder where they're going to get the money? More shares perhaps.

Message 3065966
Message 3066098

John Solder and Gary Wisdom comment on the negative gross margins on EZ135 and ability to compete with Iomega.

Message 3066115

Management may have to entice existing warrant holders to exercise their warrants by offering discounts to the contractual exercise price and/or issuing exchange warrants at market or negotiated discount exercise prices

Message 3066190

Zebedee Wright, Jr. comments about the 10-K and proposes that SYQT shareholders would be better of in Vegas or Atlantic City, where they would at least get free drinks while their losses mounted.

Message 3066283

How to spell dilution.

Message 3066502

Talk about a lose-lose situation; Syquest lost money selling these drives, and the customer loses because she/he bought a drive that is sure to disappear from the market in no time.

150 million shares outstanding minus the $180 million in cash that the warrant excersize would bring in. You could use that cash to buy back about 50 million shares to get a resulting 100 million shares outstanding. Not to split hairs or anything but I think that that is fair to point out. What is going on with the stock today, anyway?
