>>BTW, don't listen to anyone who tells you that the two browsers are incompatible with each other. I have IE 4.0 installed on both my work and home machines in addition to Netscape, and they can even run at the same time. >> I have to agree with you as far as the above is concerned. For a while, I had both browsers running and never had a problem. Zead

Allen, Bill (PM), thanks, (Actual Iomega content at bottom) I usually check to see if my message has been asked/answered just before I send it off so that I don't repeat something just said, but last night I was going to bed, the traffic was relatively light, and I said the heck with it, pushed submit and turned the machine off even before I got confirmation of sending my post. Unfortunately, it took a few minutes to write the post because I was going slowly and Allen slipped in before me with the answer before I had gotten the question off. That'll teach me. I was figuring that the problem had been fixed somehow, since, after all, Win98 comes with IE attached as the default everything. I've never used it, but next week I'm getting a machine at work which has Win98 installed. We'll see. There has been an official problem announced with IE4 and the NT OS, however, but I can't remember what it is offhand. I think M$ has developed a fix/workaround (since they don't have much to gain by squashing the competition in this case). Real Iomega content When we see announcements of this doojiggie or that adoption or these applications for Zip/Jaz/Clik, there always is an initial flurry of excitement followed by a couple of posts saying "Well, why didn't it go up?" Well, IMHO, nothing is giong to move this stock up quickly except (1) announcement of fantastic earnings, 2X, 3X, 4X of expectations, (2) the whole sector jumping all of a sudden (and there is a significant amount ot confusion out there about what sector Iomega belongs in, anyway) or (3) announcement of a buyout bid at 4X the going price. Let's face it, folks, the average Joe or average Jane Institution doesn't see the little announcements about the company, nor care. They're only going to notice the stock once a quarter without some really earth-shattering reason to. So the "Comdex [or insert your major trade show here] jump/slow drift sideways/down" theory of stock price works pretty good for this or just about all stocks similar. Boy, I sure do ramble on when I should be asleep. Anyway, let's see where this thing is at the end of Jan (and I'm still waiting for the end of April, and ultimately April 2000, when I figure it will hit my sell point).
