I agree with Gottfried, seemed reasonably even handed. I appreciated the mention of the plant closings being a specific strategy rather than some emergency action. The $0.25/meg for Clik! v.s. $5/meg for flash drives home the market potential. Now all we need are devices.

Gottfried, that's the part that I thought deserved a bit more thought. Actually, with the expansion of the Internet, I think that it favors removable storage media such as the Zip and Clik! drives provide. And with the advent of MP3 type music downloads and even the possible downloading entire books via the internet into electronic "book" devices, removable storage seems to fit the bill. The larger the files that are created, be they music, photos, large PDF book files, etc. I think that instead of being a threat to Iomega, it will turn out to be in their favor. Journalists tend to take a negative stance against Iomega for some reason seeing it as being half empty, not half full and improving. Otherwise the article was fairly neutral. Mel
