Uh, you are reading the right person's posts, right?  You've accused
me of mudslinging before, and when I tried to e-mail you, it came back
as an invalid e-mail address.  I don't bad-mouth anything.  I present
facts, sales figures, reviews in the computer publications, and
occasionally, my own personal opinions.  I don't say, "Oh that EZ
DRive is a piece of crap, don't buy it.".  Complain to the PC
magazines if you don't like their reviews.  Look at the newspaper and
see the stock prices for both companies.  But don't accuse me of
something I'm plainly innocent of.

I will readily admit to a small error here, the statements I was
referring to were given by Syquest's executives during the press
conference following the release of their quarterly report.
Statements like this are not put into the text of the report itself
because the company wishes to look good in their public reports.

With the exception noted above, it is not "misinformation".

No, my father does not own Iomega's stock, but with it going from
around $2 a share last year to near $50 a share now, I'm more than
certain he wishes he did, as do I.

>Or do you belong to the "one market, one product" school of thought ?

Hardly, I see room in this market for both drives, I just state what
I've read and my personal experiences.

>C'mon, we all really wanna know ...

What I really want to know is why you don't just e-mail me with this
stuff so we don't have to bother everyone else with your opinions of
my posts?
