> just got off the phone with ingram and the southeast sales manager who said that he has not seen this much demand for a product in a long while...<< What? Are they stil telling you exactly what you want to hear over there at Ingram? I can just picture it now... Ingram Guy #1: Yes, yes, Mr. Bateh..can you please hold on a minute?..(leans over to next cubicle with his hand over the phone) PssssssT... Hey, Frank! It's this nutty Bateh character again... You know the one...they guy who keeps calling over and over about Iomega? How do I get him off the phone? Ingram Guy #2: Him again? Jeez...just tell him what he wants to hear for crying out loud! Tell him we're selling Tons and Tons! And tell him we've never seen ANYHING sell like this before! Works every time! And then, every time, reality hits, and the numbers released by IOmega show a very different story. A story that reveals facts that Iomega is losing money big time. Facts that sales are dropping. Facts that the outlook looks bleak. IOM $2 by 1/31/99
