The infamous Rodney King once said "Can't we all just get along?" Seriously, I appreciated everyone's different take on the conference call today. This kind of discussion is healthy. As for me, I plan on retiring early tonight. Don't want to be hung over when trading resumes tomorrow morning. Look, the damage has been done. It's time for all to make a decision. After all, that's what makes a market. Good luck to all, no matter what you decide tomorrow.

<<We are finally seeing the 'treadmill' affect I talked about last quarter (selling 2x the drives to stay in roughly the same place)>> Darn, you're right. They doubled the number of drives sold this quarter compared to the last fourth quarter while only doubling EPS (.07 to .14), Yep. That's staying in place. Thanks for teaching us the new math. Do you use real money to trade with or just play money? By the way, what school did you go to that taught you that .07 = .14?>>> Careful now, while I agree with your point, Kenny here thinks were so blinded that we don't want to hear the other side. Oh, and all the torrture that he's put up with in the last year and a half. In case you missed it Ken, I don't mind your sharing of info, but your above reasoning pretty much makes a good case in point of what I've been trying to say the last couple of posts. Zead

All -- Just a final couple of thoughts before turning in ........ what if, due to some unknown force, reason, or whatever....... what if the doggone ad campaign actually works? hmmmmmmm..... could the company that designed and marketed the Zip to this point of success, actually do good enough market reseach to design and implement an ad campaign that could boost sales into the next level? I'm also wondering how folks who claim to be such strong supporters of companies like SYQT, which has endured massive doses of actual mismanagement, can call it curtens for IOM because they missed estimates by 1 or 2 cents while increasing margins, sales and earnings . It's a longway from over in the removeable storage war, and I still like the horse I'm riding...... even if it is a dark and stormy night.
