Rocky - I believe that you are reading too much into the Imation announcement. You may have missed it but IOM will also be available for the iMac. The following is from a write up concerning Mac-World which appeared Sunday. " Analysts also said they are not expecting any major announcements from Apple at the show and that instead, other companies will announce peripheral devices intended to make the iMac more appealing, such as a high-density external disk drive from Iomega Corp. (IOM - news) and other companies such as Sony Corp. (6758.T). To solve the lack of an external disk drive, Iomega plans to introduce a Zip drive with a 100 megabyte storage capacity and a universal serial bus (USB) interface for easy device connections. Iomega also plans a Mac version of its multimedia product called the Buzz, a video capture device and editing board. The board lets a digital camera attach to the Mac."

Iomega Granted Preliminary Injunction Against Sale Of SyQuest SparQ Cartridges in France ROY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 1998--Iomega Corp. (''the Company'') (NYSE:IOM - news) Tuesday announced that on Friday, July 3, 1998, the Paris District Court ruled in its favor, granting the Company's request for a preliminary injunction against SyQuest Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:SYQT - news) and its French subsidiary SyQuest SARL. The preliminary injunction requested by Iomega asked the Court to prevent the import and sale of SyQuest's SparQ(TM) cartridge in France because it infringed on one of Iomega's recently granted European patents. Based on Iomega's demonstration that the SyQuest SparQ cartridges infringed on the European patent covering the anti-rattle mechanism found in Iomega's Jaz(R) cartridges, the Paris District Court Judge ordered SyQuest to pay Iomega a damage penalty of 15,000 FF (US$2,500), for certain legal costs and to pay Iomega a 100 FF penalty (US $16.50) for each SparQ cartridge it sells after the injunction takes effect. ''This is another important demonstration of Iomega's intellectual property strength,'' said James E. Sierk, president and chief executive officer, Iomega Corp. ''Iomega's proprietary technologies are among our greatest assets. We are very pleased with the French Court's swift recognition of our intellectual property rights and SyQuest's infringement on them. We are particularly pleased that the Court chose to penalize the infringer.'' Iomega's preliminary injunction request also sought to enjoin import and sale of SyQuest's SparQ cartridge into the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy. The French Court did not grant this portion of the request. Iomega is not aware of any French Court having yet granted any party such pan-European relief in an intellectual property case.
