IOM Investor Sentiment bert.stockmaster.com As you can see by the chart on this link, the outrageous reality-ignoring optimism of Iomaniacs continues to hover unabated around 75% Bullish. This bodes very badly, in that Wall Street looks at this kind of data, and weeps with joy over how easy it is to manipulate IOM's typical investor, who has this kind of blindness to impending misery.

Well, I'm not so sure. I used to be an avid Iomega fan using initially using a parallel zip and then changing to an IDE internal zip. Well after about 6 months, this weekend I got the "click of death" and my drive was toast. Urgently needing to backup stuff, I went to the local "computer city" in search of an upgrade. Now since I only use this for backup and not exchanging data with other users etc. what would you do? Spend $149 for a 100mb zip or $199 for a 1GB sparq. For me the choice was simple: I went for the IDE internal sparq. Installed in 5 minutes and works flawlessly. I sold IOM months ago when it became apparent to me there will never be a standard and who needs 100mb zips when a new cheaper larger capacity product by any number of competitors may lurk down the road.
