Reseller, you said >Staying long liking what I'm seeing.< Coming from a guy in the front lines, this statement is encouraging. GM

there is no other way but up from here, this is the bottom, these bad earnings have been factored in, iomega is down because some people thought that it was going bankrupt. instead zip sales are strong. OEM sales are booming, zip well on the way of becoming the floppy replacement, on this point the picture is clearer now. Why bother about being a penny short for the quarter, just focus on the future that's what counts. As for tomorrow i think iomega is going up. Institutions which own about 30%(about 78 million shares) are accumulating not selling. Look at the anemic trading after hours today, and the bid is at 7 3/4, that means something. i sold some today and i am buying back tomorrow. this is going to be a great year. lots of good news. yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! BTW where is the 30% drop in after hours trading? it's time to buy stupid!

Oh, it's know surprise that you're painting a pretty picture but you also dismissed that which the company itself later admitted to albeit in an understated fashion: wretched quality. They can pull the wool over Johnny Public's eyes and make his problems appear to be some sort of personal experience; OEMs are a whole different ball game and they're just about sick and tired of blowing a hole in their respective budgets because unwitting customer just has to have a Zip drive. Unless and until they get their brains around that problem there is little hope.
