Reseller: Is the product moving through to end users now or are retailers simply adding to inventory at what seem like good prices? Meaning, are the store shelves being stocked now with a concurrent Q4 company drop off, or are OEM drives moving in such volume so as to create immediate demand? Do you understand my question and does it make sense? Thanks.

<<Agreed....they are moving tons of these disks, that where the big money is at. If they continue this promotion the 3rd. qt. made be pretty good after all.>> Iomega has new retail packaging on disk multi-packs, available in August. Very nice graphics. Large blister packs, with a hole for peg hooks. An effort to get the disks nearer the check-out line, and present them as an impulse item, while reducing the possibility they will be shoplifted from shelves. Perhaps we're trying to move all the ten packs in current packaging to make way for the new stuff.
