>>There can be no better news for any company than selling products faster than they can be manufactured.<<

Sorry, I have to disagree. As Bill Hayes (remember Hayes Modems) found out, what happens than is you find yourself in the terrible situation of having created demand that someone else fills.

I think one of the most vital challenges facing this company is to keep up with the demand while the window is open.

When I go to buy a removable, it is because I want it now. If I can't find my first choice with a reasonable amount of convenience, than the second choice is going to start looking fairly attractive to me. IMO, that is a typical consumer reaction.

Nobody gets rich on what they could have sold.

Best of luck,

Long Syquest

Don, I bought a Sparq external a couple of days ago and have been using it with my older laptop. I was using a ZIP but that died a couple of weeks ago. It made no sense at all getting another ZIP when I could get 4 GIGS of disk space for $300. The Sparq is a great little machine. My old ZIP disks will be used in the internal ZIP drive in my desktop so no waste there. I'm not currently a stockholder in Syquest; I sold my shares for a modest loss when one of the posters on this thread pointed out the dilution of equity going on. I'm watching for an entry point for a short term trade. - Sam
