Gottfried, I want a digital camera bad! But I won't purchase one until I can get a megapixtel unit with cheap storage. I guess I'm going to have to wait on Clik!. I have seen all the cameras from a $45,000 Hasselblad to a $299 Casio. The Hasselblad made nice pictures but I'm not going to spend more on a camera than I did my house. The resolution of my current computer screen is 1280X1024. If I can get a digital camera with that resolution for say ca. $600 with a cheap (film) storage option then I will jump on it with both feet. I have always wondered why Iomega didn't try to develop their own camera. Do the CCD's cost that much? Most cameras today are mostly plastic anyway. I guess I'll have to stick with my old Canon for awhile. But it sure would be neat to be able to download megapixtel images to a Zip drive, take it to the inlaws and bore them with a specialized slide show of your own making. Opps the sadist in me is coming out. Anyway for the time being I guess I'll hold on to the few shares I have, and continue to buy a few each month at these ridiculous prices. Scott

>>>I don't count on the ability of "buzz" to influence stock price, so I'm not disturbed by its absence.<<< Gottfried... I wasn't really making this observation as it relates to IOM's stock price... I am a "wanna-be-bull" who got out of the stock months ago but still follow IOMEGA's every move looking for a good place to get back in... Like a lot of current investors I think CLIK! has the potential to make up for a lot of the mistakes of the last year... I'm just wondering why there is almost no hype circulating around, what in my mind is a very exciting new product with myriads of uses for the technology minded... You referred to Windows 98... It has been hyped, greatly anticipated, talked about, speculated on, reviewed, etc... for months. Another example is Intel's Merced chip but nothing about the birth of ZIP's little brother... IOMEGA HAS TO DO A BETTER JOB GETTING TO WORD OUT ABOUT THIS FANTASTIC NEW DRIVE... All IMO... Ciao... JD
