Well, I agree with you that your report of the sale of 500 usb drives provides almost no usable information for predicting Q4 results. But, I don't understand what your objective is when you consistently embellish your reports with superlatives. The most rational reaction is that you are trying to affect the price of Iomega stock!!! One reason your reports are nearly worthless for evaluating Iomega's prospects is that you are free to choose when you report numbers and are free to choose the products for which you do report. This is compounded by your obvious bias. (Thus, you can truthfully report values but choose to report only when favorable numbers occur and only for the products that have the most favorable results thereby making extrapolation worthless.) You are in a unique position to provide valuable information. You also have no responsibility to make the effort to provide information in a valuable form. You give every evidence of not wanting to. So be it. Nonetheless, let me make one more try. When you provide data for an Iomega product and another company has a competing product, could you provide data for both products. Information is that form could be much more useful than just information about Iomega's product. For example, provide USB drive unit sales for Apple computers versus superdisk unit sales for Apply computers. And so forth. I believe that you think that people do not want you to post. No doubt a few do. But, I think, most just want you to post in a more useful form. hrp
