I was just looking at the Surplus Direct New Arrivals and spotted the XHD disks from Nomai, $99 for a 10 pack (What a Bargain!) : surplusdirect.com

<If IOM had 14m shares outstanding the loss would have been about a 1.25 / share. .... 18m is nearly the same loss as SYQT posted a couple quarters last year (and matches a couple in 1997). > Your earnings and EPS comparison is not relevant. You need to compare earnings and revenues. You know that. That post was unworthy of IOM's best bear. 'soft toss' indeed!

RE: Comparable losses? Ken, >> SYQT's $33m loss in Q1 1996 is not far off from Iomega's 19m loss in Q1 1998. << There's absolutely no comparison, Ken. SYQT lost $34 million on $79 million in sales in Q1 96 (which was in 1995, BTW). That's a 43% net loss. IOM lost $19 million on $408 million in sales in Q1 98. That's only a 5% net loss. That's a world of difference. - Michael Coley - wwol.com
