Iomega Corporation Wednesday announced the shipment of its 15 millionth Zip drive.

Iomega is celebrating this achievement by inviting its customers to download Iomega's RecordIt software free from its Web site, www.iomega.com.

"Fifteen million customers have put Zip technology to work in their lives," said Edward D. Briscoe, president, personal storage division, Iomega Corporation. "Zip disks are the recording media of the digital age. They help people take their memories with them and share their experiences. On behalf of the Iomega family, I want to say thank you to every one of our great customers."

Iomega RecordIt software can turn a PC and Zip drive into a digital audio recorder, allowing PC users to easily create personalized voice and music files to share with friends, family and colleagues via Zip disks, Jaz disks or the Internet. One genuine 100MB Iomega Zip disk can hold up to 55 minutes of near CD-quality pre-recorded music, or over 8 hours of voice recording. Internet surfers can download Iomega's RecordIt software free as of July 1, 1998 in celebration of the shipment of the 15 millionth Zip drive.

"With over 15 million Zip drives shipped, the Zip drive is the incumbent high capacity removable technology," said Bob Amatruda, senior analyst at International Data Corporation. "People buy products that make life easier and solve real world problems. Clearly Iomega has exploited that need." About Zip Drives and Disks
