"SWEET HIGH MARGIN SALES"" <<After your week off why not give the sales updating a rest>> Could not possibly agree more. Worthless "cheerleading" IMO.

John... Ditto to everything you said concerning S. Bateh's meaningless sales info. If she took the time to put the info. in some kind of format that tracked sales over time to identify trends ... it might be worth looking at... Be prepared to suffer the wrath of the S. Bateh big brothers who will be posting how much they appreciate her efforts and how important the "data" is to them... Just more smoke to obscure the truth about what really ails IOMEGA... BBG

John, To the extent that s. batek posts facts about Iomega's sales, this is valuable and should not be discouraged. It is up to the reader to interpret them. I have a different wish list for Batek. 1. Publish facts. Do not cheerlead. 2. Reduce bias by announcing, in advance, (a) the products for which data will be published, (b)the data that will be published for those products, (c) the times at which the data will be obtained. 3. Publish data for Iomega products and competing products so that comparisons can be made. I have offered, by private message, to assist Batek in developing a protocol for Batek's posts - but have never received a response. I am not the only person to have offered assistance. Batek has the right to ignore such requests and post whatever Batek wants. hrp
