EMC wanting to buy Iomega.

[samintx]

I checked the IOMEGA website and they have trigabit storage units. Anyone use their products anymore? Are the HD good and value priced?

[Chupa Chupa]

I posted something about the deal awhile ago, also wondering what Iomega could possibly have that EMC would want.

[samintx]

Remember when the stock was over 40.00. It got dumped and never recovered.

[IronMac]

Yeah, unfortunately I still have that stock.

Iomega would have *small* NAS technology.

Or perhaps EMC's R&D guys in the basement have discovered the elusive cure for the Click of Death, and designed a backup robot to utilize those billions of ZIP disks, thereby saving our nation's landfills from millions of cubic yards of black plastic.

a quick Google search leads me to believe it's a type for "trigabyte" which itself seems to be marketing-speak aimed at those too stupid to use the term 'terabyte'.

She's apparently too cool for iomega as well. A search of their web site for 'trigabit' returns no results. A Google search turns up only Sam's post.
