RE: Asia Pacific Sales? >> Oh, by-the-way weren't revenues (mainly from drives?) down from Asia last quarter. Could it be that they [NEC/MCI Zip drives] are already selling in quantities? << Yes, Asia Pacific sales dropped from $49 million in Q4 to $20 million in Q1. This was the lowest Asia Pacific quarter for over two years. (See my spreadsheet at wwol.com I don't think that it was due to licensee drives, though. If that were the case, it would have been pointed out in the conference call. The Asia Pacific financial problems still exist. Iomega has shifted their focus away from Asia Pacific until things get better there. I think that's a very prudent thing to do. The money is needed elsewhere. Focus the attack and return later when Asia Pacific regains its strength. - Michael Coley - wwol.com
