>>Wow! The Steppford Iomegans are in full force I see<<Just wait for the rest of the toadies show up..Thank god there was a sell off late in the afternoon...I dont' know whats better having Syquest go up and then being subjected to the " Steppford Iomegians" [Very good by the way]...Or having it not move, or even go down ,and the toadies ...poof they are gone ... Check out the AOL thread it's worse there...Maybe IOMEGA is the opiate of the people, at least thats what is seems like they are smoking.. imho

Mr. Winfield, you quoted me out of context (see below). I was clearly referring to the EZ135 and SQ3270 products. Do you really believe that these drives and the corresponding media will be available in a year or two? I believe that Zip drives and disks will be.

As a result, the EZ135 and another subsystem product, the SQ3270, were sold for most of fiscal 1996 at negative gross margins.>> 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.
