Thanks Edwin... I think that it is good to try to keep these guys on their toes... or honest, but that may be asking too much, after all they are out to sell magazines and influence people! Too bad they don't take a little more effort in doing research before blurting out a dumb article like this one. Of course this is just my opinion... Its not easy bringing out a new product like the Clik! but writers like these and our dear friends at Barrons and the SF Cronicle don't make it any easier. Just cut IOM some slack and let them develop this thing. The negative impact on IOM may not be that great if they do have some problems, but the stock price might be knocked down for a while... to some short holders benefit. It will be interesting to hear what Kim Edwards has to say in his upcoming conference call at the end of January. Lets hope that the Jaz 2 delay will not last too long. I remain hopefully optimistic and look forward to seeing IOM beat estimates quite handily for this quarter. I agree that the ad campaign is directed towards the X -gen folks, but I believe that Zips tend to sell themselves through word of mouth and by being accepted by MIS folks within govt. and corporate offices. My very best wishes for a Prosperous New Year to all IOMEGA share holders and those who realize a quality growth company when they see one. That goes to you folks who are into options trading as well... risky but also very rewarding when done right. *Mel*
