You guys are soooooooo wrong. I work for Iomega. I know what the news is. Syquest is buying Iomega. The price will be 1MM Syquest shares for every share of Iomega. Trust me. This is it.

I'm afraid to speculate too much on this one but can't help but get somewhat excited at the prospects. The CEO sticking his face on the tube at high noon should IMO only mean a big announcement. From there we should have a choreographed campaign thru PC EXPO 98. I kind of expect an alliance with Compaq and it's C-Series handheld PC. Kodak and IOM make a lot of sense, a Kodak alliance would be huge. Good luck Reseller

It won't be a repeat Robert, I'm skeptical of your bid that it'll be the tripartite alliance for the multi-$K projector system, already announced. I'm also skeptical of the guess that it'll just be the Presario announcement all over again. Look at the intraday chart for yesterday. Things limped along as has been usual of late until 2 p.m., when all hell broke loose. Somebody obviously let some big institutions in on the news at that time. None of this old stuff could have precipitated such a stampede. Whatever it is, this one's going to be from the fresh produce department. The $64K question is whether or not it will live up to our now- inflated expectations for it. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
