The only people who lost are those that sold! This news will be reviewed by many analysts and before you have a chance to be one of those lucky buyers at the 9-10 range will profit enormously. I bought in at 12 3/4 today at 3:58 because the company is going places. The price only matters when you sell. The last upgrade was to hit 16 in six months and her predictions were 100% accurate! She said 45 cents this year and that is what they did. Those that are selling at such low's are crazy. If I had the money, and I don't, I'd be trying to buy at these after hours levels. Should be back to 13 by Monday close....If not, oh well, will have to wait it out. This news should get the institutions buying and driving it back somewhat nicely! Packers by 10......

>IOM is going down because the Read/Write CD is becoming a standard and >CDs are cheaper than IOM tapes. I can think of a number of challenges to this stock but, based on the tech support experiences I've had, R/W CD is not one of them. It is interesting how many intelligent people don't want to be bothered with details, and writing to CD as of now involves a bit more thinking than using either a zip or syquest. Maybe too simple an analysis but I see this often. I've also seen really intelligent people encounter weird glitches making CDs, generally having to do with the rate of data transfer. I like new toys but I spend a lot of time troubleshooting one thing or another & at the end of the day time is more precious to me than money. Also - did you mean tapes? (Ditto?) or carts? On a broader front, I've been reflecting lately about the whole zip saga and wondering why the hard drive makers even let Iomega, Syquest or Pinnacle survive. Why did they spend years making smaller, faster & cheaper hard drives and not take the next step? Am I missing something here? Maybe this has been hashed over. But it seems like a beautiful tale of grabbed (and missed) opportunities. The current kick in the guts aside, it seems ironic that Iomega may now be in a position to buy a hard drive maker. cheers Eve
