To all! Questions regarding Clik! Iomega stock price will do just fine with the Zip drive model in place. I have very little doubt about it and the cash stream it will generate. Clik! could also be monstrous, however, unless I am missing something, another drive will be necessary to utilize it. It is true that I look at Clik as storage for digital cameras and other computer peripherals, thus the need to get the information via a drive into the computer exists. A zip cart would be the answer and would almost guarantee the success of this product, but if I understand the plan, that is not in the cards now. Are there other uses that will not involve a pc? Someone, other than rockhead, help me with this. Why is the Clik! technology so compelling to some. What are other uses that would generate the kind of sales that have been tossed around here from time to time? I have liken the Zip to the VW Bug...every mans car. Certainly not all that hi-tech, but everyone has one or will be getting one. Iomega management has been brilliant in recognizing the needs of the computer user masses and we are now entering that most lucrative of phases of the Zip growth cycle. Can Clik! be more of the same from Kim Edwards and crew? Ira

******** OT ******** Truff, Its Bill Jamison, but good memory anyway since I don't post too often. Fortunately/Unfortunately I work Friday nights ( it pays 13% more which goes to my 401k ), but to meet the famous Trufflette I would take the night off ;-). Reguarding the stock split I also don't believe its just for stock options, but then again CPQ is splitting and will add 1 Billion more shares. I'm almost certain Compaq will be making some aquisitions with these shares. Maybe they'll just give us more stock options . BTW, would appreciate your short term opinion of Cpq. I'm Margined and trying to decide to when to get outt before or after earnings. BTW#2 As for as the IOM split I'll trust K.E. on this but I'm more an investor than a trader but I can understand your frustration of the timing. Bill
