The Bull Market Report July 9, 1998 ***** IOMEGA CELEBRATES SHIPMENT OF 15 MILLIONTH ZIP DRIVE Iomega Corporation (IOM) today announced the shipment of its 15 millionth Zip drive. COMMENT: We think this stock is WAY undervalued. Yes they have problems, but they will be all cleared up one day soon, and this stock will see double digits then. It is currently below $6. ragingbull.com

Please indicate where there is indecision in Sony's part regarding HiFi. The only indecision I can see from the posted article is exactly which combination of interfaces Sony will initially introduce to crush Zip. It seems Sony is ready to introduce several interfaces, including USB and Firewire. Sony very likely could have a USB HiFi drive out before Iomega, based on Iomega's recent new release calling for a "late 4th Quarter" USB Zip.

As a reseller, I wonder if you've seen this phenomenon. On some of the storage related newsgroups, people are lamenting the fact that they tried to insert a Standard Floppy into an internal Zip drive. The result are bent read/write heads. The drives are now unusable and have to be returned to Iomega for repair. Since the majority of Zip drives are now going to OEM's, don't you think that this snafu could very well hurt the bottom line as many unfamiliar users blindly try and put floppies into that slot on their new top of the line Compaq? Turns out, Zip's floppy-INcompatibility has hurt more than their designs to be the floppy replacement-- it actually hurts Zip drives physically as well! Way To Go Iomega! Yet another brilliant engineering feat right alongside the remarkably badly-designed Zip Plus!
