Unfortunately, that last sentence was the only positive note that article sounded. I guess "All's well that ends well." Dan Dwyer

Philip, thanks for the link. The article tells us the cost to Iomega of a ZIP drive... >>Iomega hasn't made much money, if any, selling its disk drives, which cost the company about $65 to make. Instead, Iomega has made its money selling the proprietary Zip disks. << GM

Philip thanks for the link. >>With their brand identity and some exciting new products in the pipeline, the high-capacity storage market looks like Iomega's to lose.<< I believe that Sierk and his team are fully aware of not only the opportunities that lay ahead but also the obstacles that must be overcome. There seems to have already been a big reduction in the TV advertising and we are seeing price reductions all over. Just received notice of a special rebate program for resellers that applies to the 5pk ATAPI purchase, value $25. The program bundles with the OEM Windows 95 rebate, for the last couple of years MS has had a $25. Rebate for their OEM 5 pk Windows. Regards Reseller
