Non-Tech : Any info about Iomega (IOM)? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

>>BY way, what's the deal with Quest drive, cRocky?<< Quest looks like it has been ready to go for awhile. Just one problem. Syquest has no money to produce it in quantity. So, they plan to dilute their shares even more, and pour more $$$ into ramping up SparQ. While this news is bad for Syquest, it still does little good for Iomega. SparQ is still selling as many as they can make, and stealing away Jaz sales (and even Zip Plus) from Iomega. Syquest wants to only OEM Quest for now. Are there any OEM's? I don't know. Syquest sent me an email saying they had started shipping Quest to OEM's in December. What this means, I haven't the foggiest.

<So many times being wrong, yet the guy continues to post his daily BS. > It's actually kind of amusing if you know better. Unfortunately, some do not and probably get nervous over his ranting. His talk of IOM, a 2 billion dollar company and one of the fastest growing in the world, becoming a penny stock was particularly amusing. His continued Sony hype on a product that is DOA is also quite amusing. Talk about Vapor....when I looked up vapor in the dictionary it had a picture of a Sony drive!! Unfortunately, other pundits who don't understand what it means to have an installed base of 12 million machines also rant and rave about Sony. But then again this is the exact same babble we heard about LS120. Let's see if Sony can displace ZIP in Dell boxes, or Gateway boxes, or Micron boxes, or IBM boxes, or HP boxes, or CPQ boxes, NEC boxes, etc. Let's see if a single one of the major OEM's even consider the Sony drive. If cRocky believed even half of what he spews, he'd convert his entire portfolio to an IOM short position even at 8. From 8 to a penny stock would be a great return. FF
