>>It probably doesn't matter much at the moment what the realities of the French court decision actually are. IMO, it's the fear that can be generated from this type of news that has the potential of negatively impacting the price of the stock.<< Dale - I think what also matters is that if the French court saw enough merit in Iomega's claim of patent infringement to issue a preliminary injunction, it's quite possible that an American court would do the same. The clamping mechanism is patented in the US as well. - Allen

Dale, After lurking for the past many months on this thread, and having followed syquest for over one year, it now becomes clearer, with iomega's recent attacks on syquest, that both these two companies will destroy each other with both going down with the ship. Some third company will eventually emerge to finally rule the removeable drive market. I just can't believe the stupidity of these two companies fighting it out like they have for the past year. The true victims will be the employees and the stockholders as their stock prices drop even further. While both companies have great products, their management have egos that have rotted all too long and impeding any possible resolution to the massacre taking place. What a sorry sight to behold!
