RE: SparQ/SyJet OFF TOPIC How are the SyJet sales/inventories? From what I've observed, SparQ is barely outpacing Syjet, and is only about 1/10th as much sales as Jaz and 1/20th as much sales as Zip. - Michael Coley - wwol.com

hmmm...i guess your reports need to be measured on how much ingram sells as a percentage of all iomega sales. for example, 1 million drives in 30 calendar days is 33.33 thousand drives per day. if Ingram is 10% of zip sales, then they should move 3,333 zip drives per day. I can't tell from your posts. is it moving at that rate? Also, if ingram is not open 30 days a month, an only 20 business days a month, then the avg sales per day number should be 5,000 zips per day. and 1 million units per month sales is below their production capacity of 20 million units. And from the dec conference call, they are going to spend ?? $150 million ?? in capacity expansion. So does 12 million retail units and 8 million oem units sound right or should it be reversed? For jaz, if iom does sell 3 million jaz drives, then they need to move an average of 8,219 drives per day based upon 365 calendar days. For 250 working days, this number is 12 thousand drives per day. At a retail sales price of $275, thats about $3.3million retail sales per day. ??? your numbers seem short. Maybe ingram is not 10% of iomega sales or iomega is not hitting sales numbers?
