>>With the r&d cost of the zip250 already expensed ...<< Pure conjecture. So evidence to support this. >>and the idea that the zip250 costs the same(close) to the zip100<< Pure conjecture. No evidence to support this. >>we will see the profit margins(along with the high margin jaz2 and disks) go up big time...<< Not with Iomega having to cut prices every month. Margins are still heading down. No evidence of a reversal of this fact. >>what a 4th and 1st qts these will be...back to my prediction of 30 in a year!!!!<< IOM will be lucky to ever see $10 again. It just might this next week-- if the Comdex Hype is succesful and if Iraq complies with UN. But after the Comdex Hype dies down, IOM will be sinking like an Iraqi gunboat.

s.batch, the mission next week will be to identify the sku #'s for Zip 250. If I'm right they have this thing ready to ship. I agree that they already have r+d paid for on this product long time ago. The speculation that Zip 250 drive and media cost very little more than Zip 100 and media makes plenty of margin to work with should any fud thing actually show up in any meaning full way. Three strikes for the unmentionable one He's Out of Here Strike 1. Clik!, shipping to their first OEM. Strike 2. USB Zip, on it's way Strike 3. The Zip 250, will ship and dominate Regards Reseller
