You're right Rock! Yes, I think IOM will break 8. This will finally panic the rest of the online crowd. The problem is, you guys fall in love too easily. With anything other than the bluest of blue chips you must be willing to sell. Love the stock one day, hate it the next... How come they won't listen to us Rock? kp

The new Popular Science has three full right hand page IOM ads in a row. The first two are for 1gb Jaz. The third is for Buz. The first one features a sound jockey who may have more solid credential than Lumpy, who, as we have heard long and often here....hates Jaz and says all real sound jocks do too. Perhaps this ad has been run alot elsewhere, but t is the first time I've seen it. FWIW, here's the text: Stephen Hunter Flick -- Sound Designer -- As the two-time Academy Award-winning sound effects specialist whose work includes films like Speed, Apollo 13, and Twister, Stephen Hunter Flick works with major movie studios creating some of film's most incredible effects. From compiling over 2,000 sound files to create a massive tornado to transporting or even cutting straight to digital pictures, Stephen's work takes big space. With his Jaz drive and its sustained transfer rate of up to 6.62MB per second, he can back up 1 whole gigabyte in as little as 10 minutes. The Jaz drive not only gives him the flexibility to run applications and files straight from disk, it's also compatible with nearly all operating systems. So while Stephen's work is truly larger than life, it still fits neatly into his pockiet. << So, at least some sound guys seem think that it's ok to work with IOM products....... even if they aren't as good as sighquest stuff.

>>There are simply stocks that Wall Street loves right now, and then there are stocks that they hate. Wall Street loves AOL, YHOO, AMZN and other essentially overvalued stocks.<< You say this constantly. Don't you agree that in the long term prices will tend to go toward the stock's "true" value? Don't you agree then that when a stock's price diverges from this value a buying or selling opportunity emerges? If so, then it can be a good strategy to go against Wall Street since eventually opinions there will change to reflect more realistic valuations. This is a long term strategy, and obviously you are a short term player though. Brendan
