Non-Tech : Any info about Iomega (IOM)? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Yes.. Believe it or not, I haven't totally given up on IOM. The problem is, there is nothing I can do to my earnings model (except for a miracle) to create positive earnings!! This switching to OEMs away from aftermarket is what is killing them. I can't figure out how tie ratios are going to suddenly jump to compensate. My question is this: What material change to the business could occur that would pull them out of the dumps? How will tie ratios suddenly increase, if they are currently on a decreasing slope? You never see FAD products rise, fall, then rise again. (well, maybe 20 years later... but ZIP won't have this luxury...) I just cannot see how they can pull this off. But, this is only my opinion. Not worth much... kp
