Two Requests and a Thought: 1. If anyone attended last year's annual meeting, would you please describe what opportunities there were to question top management about shareholder issues. 2. If anyone has recently purchased a computer with Zip Built-In, would you please describe what came in the box that explained Zip's usefulness/encouraged use. Please try to answer this from the perspective of a buyer who had no clue about Zip. 3. If Iomega is relying on a 'razor blade' model for Zip they need to put more effort into getting the public to consider the advantages of 'shaving' (No more dopey TV ads, please). Of the people I know who have Zip Built-In, most have NEVER used the thing.....a Y2K Panic Push, as suggested earlier, might be just the ticket. Solder; take that idea and Shove It.....right in Iomega's ear!
