SYQT kinda like Micropolis - thought they could grap the market by uncutting IOM - - IOM was hurt but OEM's, manufactures and the like have standardized with IOM across the board, Progrma sells for the moment but will go back up towards end of day

Gottfried and Sheila -

The funniest part about Herb's hatchet piece today is that he obviously didn't do any checking of facts before he claimed that large amounts of SyQuest inventory would flood the market for Christmas.

There aren't any large amounts of inventory, because the company hasn't had enough money to pay suppliers for months, and the suppliers stopped accepting stock in lieu of money long ago.

Moreover, since SyQuest's sales were never more than 10% of Iomega's anyway, they couldn't put much of a hurt on Iomega even if they sold every single drive they have left for $1.

- Allen

Gottfried, just received a "brilliant" response from Herbie. "He's allergic to aspirin and his head feels just fine." I think that would be a good reason for him to take it... polish off another enemy :-) SR
