Ken,

Can you (or someone else) explain the difference between "cash" vs. "cash flow"? The press release says that Iomega has $68 million cash, but is $41 million cash flow negative (or thereabouts). Is this like having $1000 in my checking account, but debts of $1500? Unless someone is calling in all my debt today, I should be able to get by until next payday. Thus what is the big deal about being cash flow negative?

Thanks,

Jim Welsh

Ken <<The worst thing is that Iomega is rapidly becoming even MORE of a
one product company. No, not the ZIP drives, but the DISKS. >>

Actually, IOM is both a product and a by-product company.

the product: Zips

the by product: Rocky's BullS.

(ps, you may want to look at Nomai's patent info; interesting other products in the works)
