>>S, could you give us a quick run down on how Clik is doing? << Of course, Bateh could give you cold hard specific sales numbers about Flop! But Bateh won't because that wouldn't serve Bateh's agenda. The avoidance of any specific Flop! sales number's from Bateh's corner is a direct indicator that sales are doing quite badly, now that the intial supply of Iomega Investors buying Flop! has basically run its course. Just as I've warned, Flop! would sell intially well (about 25,000 Flop units) in the first 3 months of release, but after that... nothing. It has turned out exactly like I said. Flop! is an utterly useless device to the vast majority of consumers, and one that that only a comparatively few niche users can appreciate. ...And the horrible sales figures for Flop! the past few weeks prove it.

RESELLERS DROPPING ENTIRE IOMEGA FLOP! LINE A check tonight on www.pricewatch.com has revealed a drastic dropoff on the number of resellers and retailers carrying the Iomega Flop! line. One can only assume that this is because of lack of sales. There are now less than 2 pages now on Pricewatch that list prices for Flop!. A month ago, the list was MUCH larger. And the list of retailers dealing with this overdue and under-capacity bomb grows shorter every week. Clearly Flop! is not the popular item Iomaniacs had hoped for. Expect cancellation of the Flop! line by Summer 2000 (or Iomega selling it off just like Ditto).
