It is too much of a coincidence that the stock price goes up immediately after a downgrade. Is there something coming up which only a few people know about. Could it be a new product or a buyout or a blowout quarter (even after the warning)? A couple of days back the price increased by 1/8th or so after the market close (if I remember right). How many times has iomega done that? Also the volume has been close to average volume the last two days after a lot of low volume days.

Alan, You are forgetting IOM's other strongest supporter - Rocky-turd. Where is that jerk as IOM recovers? My message to him is "Liar, Liar, Pants on fire!!!" The FUDmeister falters. My message to Sheila, don't go taking all the credit for the CLIK developments. I have been saying for the longest time that CLIK is the next ZIP. I predict about 50 million drives in the same time ZIP took for 22 million drives. PC's will only be a part of that market. Regards, David S. INTC DELL HD WCOM LU IOM ANSC ZD UNPH PGTV (notice I got out of KO at $67 just before the bad news, lucky!)

<<IOM is still experiencing difficulty getting their newer products manufactured and into the marketplace...there is not much point in advertising what you cannot deliver>> Bingo. Seems amazing to me that after such a LONG buildup to development of CLIK that component shortages would be an issue but I believe that to be the case and for that reason the company is doing little in the way of markteting this product. April PC Magazine did have a full page ad for ZIP250. Very uninspiring, though. Plain, really. Just sort of a photo of the drive and a caption. Blah. gil
