News on the Iomega front: The injunction against Nomai Zip discs in the US has been lifted. This means that Iomega's cash cow just fell through the cattle guards and got broken legs. If Nomai can make their own Zip discs, I suggest that Syquest immediately start making them too. They could use the revenues from selling their Zip discs under the quality Syquest Brand to stabilize their bottom line and help fund production ramp ups of SparQ and Quest. Out of the question?

I can't speak to what the true margins are for the SparQ, or whether management at Syquest is competent, but even a blind pig can see that the drive is going to sell and sell well. It has a great price point, great functionality and market leading value. Windows Magazine "Winlists" (i.e. recommends) the product in their just released March issue. Contrary to what some others on this thread have observed, the drive has great market exposure in the retail outlets I buy from. The company may have big problems to overcome but the SparQ is a great product that just may lead the way. David
