Fran, thanks for standing up for IOMEGA and the Small Investor, as we all are. Its time to call these pundits and challenge them as to their possible conflict of interest when speaking on these widely watched shows, such are produced by CNBC. Dorfman has caused many stocks to move immediately after his comments, the noted "Dorfman Effect" which has been touched on by several investment commentators (I don't have the exact references in front of me). These folks, such as those you mention and others like the Barron's reporter who did a hatchet job on IOM recently and other "respected" analysts making "news" with an obvious effect on the stock price. I wish more of us would take the time to confront these guys and let them know that there is a whole segment of the NEW INVESTMENT COMMUNITY that do their own research, with the help of others on threads such as SI and the Motley Fool, and who use the INTERNET to keep up with their companies and who probably have a much better feel for their investments than many high paid fund managers. Anyway, Fran, congratulations! Keep up the good work! Happy 1998!! *Mel*
