I would say that things don't always get cheaper. I paid $199 for my Zip Plus Drive and I consider it a valuable purchase. I could have just bought a refurbished $99 Zip. But heck the Zip Plus has 2 much great software. Also we have a migration away from the PC into network computing, where Iomega's whole line will be valuable to organizations seeking flexiblity for storage options (esp Clik! and Jaz). On this front it is not always the cheapest price. Example, when your ass in on the line why would you want save a little money and by brand X drive instead of Iomega and cut yourself off from the advantage of the installed base (esp in graphics-advertising). When looking at projections it is always hard, I say IOM is ready and we can allready see a tremendous buying pattern in WDC,SEG etal. Even with the commodity nature of strictly hard drives it can be very good to shareholders, ie SEG, QNTM.
