Ken, I have a lot of respect for you and your posts, however Don't go defending that fraudulent, lying vermin (definition... repulsive obnoxious human being). When you post you are writing your honest assessment of the co and not advising anyone to buy or sell. We may agree or disagree with you however we don't feel any animosity towards you. I still look forward to your posts and analysis. SR

Ken, "BEST research"?! Ken, how can you say that? It's true, Rocky's posts may occasionally contain facts, but looking for them is like hunting for treasure in a landfill. Every Iomega problem is evidence of the company's worthlessness, every press release by an Iomega competitor is taken as gospel, etc. etc. Didn't he just interpret a slew of Dell ads showing built-in Zip drives as bad news for Iomega? What would he have said if the Zip drives had not been included?

RE: >>How many bulls have found this 'CLIK! big problems thread' that Rocky posted? I bet ZERO. This data is fundamental to Iomega's future success and you choose to close your eyes and dream of what 'could be'. You assume that CLIK! will be this big home run, but choose NOT to examine this device and understand it's fatal flaws. Amazing..<< Yet you assume that the post from a Usenet thread is credible ? I'll bet the poster is an investor of Scandisk. I bought Clik! to find out for myself, further have transferred over 400 pictures without a glitch. Happened to drop it ( ouch ) and it still works fine. Regards Reseller

You assume that CLIK! will be this big home run, but choose NOT to examine this device and understand it's fatal flaws. Amazing..<< Ken - The usenet thread to which you refer actually contains posts from ONE person who had problems with data on some Clik! disks, and another who had some difficulty with the parallel pass-through for the docking station. That's a total of two people posting about problems. Pardon me if I fail to consider that statistically significant. Certainly it doesn't prove that the disks are somehow to fragile to use. There may have been a problem with the drive itself, or with the NT software. Sure, that's still a problem, but I have to question the conclusions being drawn from the evidence. The BEST research? You've got to be kidding. The fact that you can't see how irrational that man's obsession is makes me question your own powers of observation. This is a man who practically screamed at all of us to SELL in the mid 4's, only to buy two days later himself. Yes, I know people on this thread overreact to him, but I know crap when I see it, and 98% of what he posts is crap. - Allen
