Linda - To go back to any post on this thread since the very first one, just type in the number of the post in the "Reply #### of 48,987" box at the top of any other post. Then press Enter. You'll go right to that post. Every post since the beginning is still there. Here's an excerpt from post #501, Feb 25, 1996, by Ken Marcus: >>I expect Iomega to double by a year from now. Just my opinion. News: Iomega will be moving into a new 70,000 sq foot facility near it's present facility. THis does not sound like a cash strapped company. Iomega's widespread ad campaign cost in the millions of dollars, again, not one of the signs of a cash strapped company.<< As we all know now, it didn't take the stock anywhere near a year to double from there. There was the infamous spike to the all-time high in May. But even after crashing in June, one year from the date of that post, double is just about where the stock price was. - Allen

IOM selling like CRAZY! I went to Comp USA and looked around Sunday. I was noticing all the external drives on display. They had one end cap full of regular ZIP and ZIP plus. around on the shelf beside it they were stocked with Ditto drives. They also had Imation and a sony drive that looked like some sort of tape backup drive. I went to the counter and was going to ask the man about a digital camera and noticed all the hard drive type devices were behind the counter. They had 2 shelves of the Jaz drive. Also had the Syjet 1.5. I asked him which one he was selling more of and he said that the Jaz was selling faster and they couldn't hardly keep enough of them in stock. He said they just had received that shipment and that was why the shelves were freshly stocked. I ended up buying a scsi portable jaz and a traveler with an extra 1gb disk. All I can say is the displays and the stock levels were geared toward selling Iomega products. InvestorTim

<<I wanted desperately to go to early 1996 posts (but, they do not exist in archives....only in my cluttered, frail mind)... In order to show some of the newer posters how the bear cries are the same growls.....>> No need, it's still fresh in my mind. Furthermore, why bother going back that far? Just read cRocky's posts regarding Vapor! and substitute the word Zip in place of Vapor! and you quickly get those old '96 posts back. cRocky, you genius, how many Zip's were oem'ed before they started selling at retail?
