RR, you certainly have a way with words. Are you especially bitter today because your girlfriend stood you up tonight or what?

So did you catch Steven Jobs' response in Business Week to the criticism that the iMac does not include a floppy?

People aren't thinking clearly," he shoots back. "Nobody's going to back up a 4-gigabyte drive onto 1-megabyte floppies. They'll use a Zip drive - but they're too expensive to build into a consumer product.

Not completely positive for Iomega, but an indication that the boxmakers aren't going to be lined up waiting to include Sony's drive if it ever becomes available.

Looks like a real good time to short IOM. What's say you give another go and show everyone that you are Smarty Smart?<GGG>
