re: Did anyone catch the comment of IOM trying to be in 90% of computers, soon? Just a couple of comments about today's news. It shows just how off base K.E. was with his business plan, in retrospect my enthusiasm for the Zip inclusion rate overshadowed analysis of sound management judgement. The Zip inclusion rate was the reason I invested in the company. In fact for me the Zip inclusion rate still outweighs the uncertainty of today. Management is adapting the business plan accordingly, the fat margins of after market retail aren't the margins of the OEM's. FWIW received this fax today from IOM,. These are the kind of steps that have to be taken in order to replace the 1.44 floppy. I don't care that they make money at this point as long as they make the new floppy standard. ******************************************************* Iomega is pleased to announce the June media rebate!
