More Syquest scare tactics... www3.techstocks.com If you can't see the great advantage in using SparQ over Zip, then there is a bridge about 3 miles to the South of me that I have for sale. www3.techstocks.com Irrational? Maybe. Unfair? To be sure. But one thing is for sure--it is the truth. Why fight Street sentiments? AOL and SYQT are presently overvalued, but the recent market downturn has left them largely alone. The reason is that Wall Street loves these stocks. www3.techstocks.com No, what is really laughable is that Iomega is getting arrogant enough to think that people will buy an overpriced, delayed piece of yesterday's technology like Jaz2, when for roughly the same money they can get 135% MORE storage, much better performance and speed, and more reliability (the SyQuest Quest (Rocket) has a high-tech dust filteration system built in and uses MR -- Magneto-Resistive technology.). www3.techstocks.com SyQuest Quest (Rocket I like much better) uses MR tech--yes, the same tech that Iomega is now hiring for. SyQuest just plain beat Iomega to the punch. It'll be a year before Iomega has a competing product! www3.techstocks.com It's all plain and simple. Jaz is not as good as SyJet. I have a friend who has a Vs-880. He uses a SyJet with it. No problems. www3.techstocks.com You are much better going for the SyQuest SparQ. It will save you bundles of cash, and it will offer the right performance and features for the needs you describe. The ONLY reason you might want to buy a Jaz is if you are interested in supporting Iomega Corp.'s bottom line. Zip and Jaz are expensive options in today's marketplace. www3.techstocks.com On the other hand, the new SyQuest SparQ is just $199 for the same capacity as the now brutally overpriced Jaz. And get this-- the SparQ 1 Gig cartridge costs just $33 apiece in a 3-pack. 4 Gigabytes for $300. Hardware included. Let's see Iomega top that. www3.techstocks.com The Street may have already factored in terrible news in the current SYQT price. It may not move downward at all, becuase Wall Street loves SYQT, and wants it to succeed. www3.techstocks.com This is because, just as I claim, that The Street Loves SYQT, and Hates IOM. Those looking for a short squeeze, or a rapid rise upward are in for a disappointment just like last year. www3.techstocks.com SYQT disappointed me today by not dropping. I knew it wouldn't, but one can hope. I would have snatched up shares as quickly as I could. SYQT will be $6/share 6 months from now. IOM continues to suffer under its baggage of being an Internet Hype Stock. The Street just hates this stock. I like to invest in stocks that The Street favors www3.techstocks.com Looks like Iomega could be in for some serious damage when Orb hits the shelves, and SparQ sales get even hotter when more drives are shipped. Oh, and one more thing...Sony will crush Iomega's Zip. www3.techstocks.com Truly pathetic performance from Iomega. People will come to their senses soon enough and realize that Iomega is way behind the technology curve. www3.techstocks.com I notice that no one has been gloating about any of Iomega product's performance lately. This is because Iomega has fallen farther and farther behind the technology of other companies. SyQuest has Iomega beat with SparQ, SyJet, and soon, Quest. Castlewood's 2.1 ORb drive devastates Iomega's Jaz2

>>So why do you have a Nintendo 64? << Because my girlfriend gave it to me for Christmas. But I did appreciate the thought nonetheless. Last year, I bought her the most expensive pair of Nikes for Christmas, and while we were shopping together she saw me trying out a display Nintendo. Next thing I know, I own one. This year, I have orders put in for a considerable amount of CD-R and CD-RW discs for my Christmas stocking. My Roland VS-1680 professional audio recorder's CD-RW Burner is hungry.
