RE: Rocker Comments >>> ...the OEM channel represents a dead end of low profit margins <<< While low profit margins are a reality for most OEM suppliers, I certainly do not believe this is a dead end for Iomega. In the last CC, Dan Strong stated, "Gross margin as a percentage of sales should continue to increase in future quarters as cost cutting exceeds price cuts." It is clear to me that management has a plan and expects to deliver improving GMs. Regards - Dale

When will these guys give it a rest? Isn't there any other stocks these guys can follow? They've been after this company for almost 4 years and still spewing the same crap, whether it's 300mm in sales or 1.7 Billion. My personal opinion?....revenge, pure and simple! I think they're all still pissed about their bone crushing losses during the spring 1996 run up, when they got the sh*t squeezed out of them costing them a fortune! To some (like David Rocker), I'll bet it's now more than just a case of money. Like a lot of longs who have probably become more emotionally tied to Iomega than common sense dictates, I suspect a lot of shorters suffer the same affliction....especially when it comes to Iomega.
