Weird, huh? Maybe they're all at the store buying mass quantities of zip/jaz disks <g>. Re. the Nintendo connection(?): why not bring it to the attention of DR I? If there's a budding market there maybe it would rate a mention in the conf. call. This stock is in a total snooze. No vol. No direction. No news. No nuthin'. Seemed like a good time to get some more this morning. Did you see the ref. in WSJ this a.m.? "Responsible journalist"... now there's an oxymo. for you.

Zead, One of my patients this AM was a Clairvoyant and I asked her opinion on IOM. She said don't worry about the near term, hold it long term and you'll make lots of money. That's what I planned to do anyhow. By the way when is the CC? SR

>>What's more amazing is that not much attention has been given to the Nintendo links. I thought for sure it would spark a lively discussion. Including cRocky calling it vaperware. :-))<< As the proud owner of a brand new N64 that my girlfriend gave me for Christmas, I can safely say that the 64DD is vaporware at this point. It was first supposed to be delivered this past Christmas, then this summer. Now it looks like it is delayed until next Christmas. Some Nintendo newsgroups have been lively forums for discussion of this drive. Some had suggested it would be a team--up with Iomega to modify a Zip. However, the Nintendo drive has nothing to do with Iomega. Early reports are that the Nintendo is only 64 MB (major bummer), but is much faster than the anemic Zip. Whether games will be delivered on this disc, or they will still be manufactured using cartridges, remains to be seen.
