Why would Syquest spend a ton of money marketing a product that consumers are having a hard time finding. The marketing will increase as production increases.

Also, I'm hearing a consistent theme of people like me buying three disks at the same time as the drive. That's $300 total revenue per drive. I have a hard time beliving that Syquest would sell these at a loss.

My only complaint is that occasionally my Sparq disk isn't seated properly and doesn't opperate until I fiddle with how the disk is inserted. I've found this to be the case on both my external and internal drives.

I would like to say that the SparQ looks like it could be a winner. Good price and low media cost. My question is this- Are they making money on it? I'd assume that they are, but the margins must be narrow. I look forward to seeing the quarter results in another couple weeks. Good luck to all investors.
