Question: All, does it pain people that bad to know that Ingram sold over 5000 usb drives so far? What does it mean, what effect will it have on 4th qt. number...who in the hell knows!! all i am saying is that they have sold x number of product on a given day and i think the numbers will be good. Just my opinion, do you base your investment decisions on what i say? If you do then you are in bad shape....make your own decisions, look at the marketplace, the market on any investment...have a lot of you lost money on iom..yes!! have alot of you made money, yes!....don't get so upset by the words tons and huge....grow up people...these words are what drove rr crazy, are the rest of you that childish?...get a life....diversify like me...msft, dell cpq, dis, etc.......talk to you in a week or so or when you all calm down a bit

>> Iomega is on record stating that they would no longer announce each million zip drives sold << Let me clear up this announcement thing (since i brought it up) and then take a break for a while ;-) yes. IOM said they will not give a press release for each Million but would inform the shareholders by including the numbers with other releases. If you check the release from them few days back, it sez clearly over 19 Mil shipped and I am sure it would have said 20 Mil if they had passed that figure. Besides, 20Mil is a major mile stone and i don't expect IOM to keep that as a secret. Finally, we all seem to agree that the numbers expected in Jan will tell the whole story and everything else is speculation. I am with Sandy and all other bulls hoping for the best. I only posted to bring back the thread to focus on the numbers and so will meet you all after that - hopefully with smiling face and not being cursed again by IOM ;-) TIA -senthil
