And within the computer industry, yet another sloth of a company takes a dirt 
nap. 

When are these companies gonna figure out that snazzy ads, loud marketing 
schemes and overindulgent commercials outrank product reliability and 
performance by a factor of 3. 

If I had the marketing snazz of IOMega, I could sell ice to the eskimoes.

Rule #1:  If you are louder than your competitor, you will win, regardless
	  of quality, performance or reliability.

cest la vie!
