Wise move......btw MUST READ....just got off the phone with a ls120 telemarkter, she called to see if i was aware of the ls120 and offer me a price of $99. I talked to her for 20 minutes about the zip being the standard and she agreed that they are having one hell of a time moving product and she assured me that we would soon see dell and others offering the ls120. I asked her if that meant a standard like zip on the dell box and she said "that would be asking too much of them, they are a market driven company and we would just be happy to be listed as an option", we discussed the sony product and she claimed that "the sony drive will not be out in numbers if at all for at least 1.5 years" when i asked her her source she said "we have a few people within sony and the info. we are getting from them is that summer will not be meet and that "this is not a big item for them", she said that the zip is what they are targeting and what they have plans on targeting for the next year and that the sony is and will not be much of a threat for 1.5 years or so".........just reporting the facts....iom is looking better everyday!

The Iomaniac's Frame of Mind 1. Paranoia.- Since I have negative views of Iomega Corp, I must be either a paid short seller or employed by short-sellers 2. Blind Loyalty.- They refuse to acknowledge the fact that NO OEM's have lined up for Vapor! because of a host of problems with it. OEm's have had PLENTY of time to evaluate it in all of its incarnations. And they have rejected it time and time again. Iomaniacs refuse to realize that Bread and Butter retail Zips are the only real source of profit Iomega has propping up flimsy earnings and stock price. 3. Short-sightedness.- the refusal to realize that there are much better investments out there than this dog. Stocks which actually move Up appreciably- not down 40%+ since December. 4. Ignorance.- the fact that any views doubting Iomega are met with derision and even more blind loyalty to a company with no earnings that dumped shares at a high price last Winter, leaving Iomaniacs holding the bag on a single-digit stock. 5. Herd-mentality.- whatever Iomega says, goes.- no questions asked. Iomega can do no wrong, even though its current stable of products is not turning a profit- all will be saved when Vapor! is released. Is it any wonder that IOM stock is so easily manipulated with investors like this? I will be heavily shorting IOM as Vapor! draws near.
