Well guys, I squeezed in a year end purchase at 7 and 1/4 to bulk up my position before the new year. Dec. 31 is often a bargain day before the bonus and 401K money starts pouring in during January. I sure want one of those neat Clik! drives although I hate that exclamation point in Clik. Happy New Year to All, David S.

You never know, maybe Syquest will come back, maybe my shares will be worth something. I would give my Syquest shares the chance of being worth anything around 5 Percent, would you agree? Did Iomega buy there assets? I still think that the Syquest Sparq 1.0 Gigabyte Drive was a great deal for the price. You never know, look at Boston Market. Jonathan

I found the following paragraph from your Syquest news link interesting: "I guess I feel dejected and abandoned...I bought the best based on performance and price, and the drive met all my expectations," wrote Robert Pace in an email message to CNET News.com in November. "Now without tech support, I will attempt to find a way to retrieve my data and switch to another media." It appears that reliability was not one of his "expectations". How many times have we read how flimsy the SparQ was? Why did so few people factor this into their purchasing decision? While I have bought my share of junky PC parts, I never scrimp on quality when it comes to storage media. Cheap modems can be replaced without loss of data. Cheap disk storage, as this fellow can attest, is a different matter altegether.
