Alan and David... Clik is my baby...now that my kids are grown up :-). Reliable sources have also told me that IOM hired a marketing firm very recently so watch for the ads.... (The turd is hiding under a rock) while we all wait for his downgrades so we can be CONTRARIANS... EMERALD is not la creme de la creme of investment analysts.... maybe Rocky is working for them :-).... SR

For those of you who do not read TMF board here's a copy of my post... SR Subject: Re: Let's talk about Clik Date: 3/31/99 11:02 AM Author: SheilaRothstein Number: of 19841 LA 340 here's a link to the digcam up coming explosion instat.com Now IOM and the CLIK need to be getting a piece of that 5.7 billion $$$ pie. SR March 26, 1998 For more information, contact: Christina Hecht at (602) 483-4443 Chrish@instat.com Digital Still Camera Market will Grow to $5.7 Billion by 2002 Semiconductor Opportunity to Exceed $1 Billion Scottsdale, AZ — Cahners In-Stat Group announced today that it expects the dollar value of digital still camera shipments to grow to nearly $6 billion by 2002. This represents a significant opportunity for digital camera manufacturers, semiconductor manufacturers, and other technology suppliers, targeting and enabling this market. By 2002, Cahners In-Stat Group expects the semiconductor opportunity in digital still cameras to exceed $1 Billion. "While 1997 digital still camera shipments more than doubled over 1996, the biggest growth opportunity still lies ahead," said Mark Kirstein, Director of Research for Cahners In-Stat Group's Converging Markets & Technologies Group. "Diverse competitors, ranging from traditional camera manufacturers and consumer electronics manufacturers, to PC peripheral manufactures, are battling to define the future of digital imaging. The already significant price reductions of 30% per year will accelerate, while digital image resolutions soar to new levels." The explosive growth of the Internet with graphics-intensive web-sites has punched up the demand for digital images. Meanwhile, Multimedia PCs have enhanced their image manipulation and processing capability. The result of this increased demand and capability, coupled with price reductions in digital image capture devices, is a rapidly growing digital imaging market. "The competition is not limited to camera manufacturers. There are battles on nearly every technology front: CCDs versus CMOS sensors, CompactFlash versus SmartMedia versus Miniature Card versus mechanical drives, software-based architectures versus hard-wired solutions. Alternative integration paths are already emerging. It's a nearly ideal opportunity for embedded DRAM and logic." Mr. Kirstein added. Mr. Kirstein's new report for Cahners In-Stat Group's Multimedia service is Digital Still Cameras: Markets and Technologies, #MM9804CD. The 65-page report gives a broad view of the overall digital imaging market and provides a detailed analysis of the digital still camera market. Coverage of the digital still camera market includes worldwide shipments by geographic region, product segmentation, selling prices, revenue, and an analysis of key competitors and their products. This report also includes forecasts and analysis of the technologies supporting the digital camera markets, and the market opportunity presented for semiconductor and technology suppliers. Digital Still Cameras: Markets and Technologies, report number MM9804CD, is specially priced at $2995. Price includes analyst inquiry privileges on topics covered in this report.

>>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<< If you are anywhere CLOSE to being right on this...that is, if CLIK is anywhere nearly as successful as ZIP has been...well...people will look back to this moment in time as the buying opportunity of a lifetime. Fortunes will be made (and lost by those short the stock). Personally, I'm not so sure. But it sure would be nice. gil
