FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LifeWorks( Photo Album Software Runs from
a Zip® Disk And Leaves No Trace on the PC

ROY, Utah, November 6, 2000 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a global leader in data management solutions, today announced its innovative new LifeWorks( line of software products with the introduction of the LifeWorks Photo Album. Using Iomega's Active Disk technology to run entirely from a Zip(r) disk, LifeWorks software applications eliminate the installation process and leave no trace on the PC, making it easier for consumers to carry portable, self-contained software applications.

The Iomega LifeWorks( Photo Album lets consumers easily print photos, organize slideshows, and e-mail images to friends and family. With Photo Album, users can also conserve expensive photo paper by resizing and printing multiple images on a page. The software enables users to easily create new Photo Album Zip disks as needed. The LifeWorks Photo Album will be available domestically in retail stores and at www.iomegadirect.com in early 2001, with an estimated retail price of $29.95. Additional LifeWorks products will be introduced throughout the year.

"With the new LifeWorks brand, Iomega has developed a simple, portable storage solution, building on the capabilities of our popular Zip drives," said Germaine Ward, vice president of software and ebusiness solutions, Iomega Corporation. "The LifeWorks Photo Album is a perfect example of the capabilities of the new Active Disk technology, allowing consumers to easily share digital photos with friends, family members and business associates wherever they go."

Iomega's Active Disk technology automatically configures and launches the LifeWorks application whenever the disk is inserted into a Zip drive. Application and data reside on the same disk for true portability. The LifeWorks application leaves no trace on the host PC when the disk is removed, ensuring that the system's original settings will not be affected.

LifeWorks( products are designed for people who are looking for simple alternatives to the install and uninstall routines required by most software and for mobile users who need access to applications from various locations. The applications are also appropriate for computers with multiple users, allowing individuals to maintain personal control of software and saved files on Zip disks.

Active Disk technology will be included in forthcoming versions of IomegaWare(. Active Disk technology can also be installed from a LifeWorks disk. Users do not have to install Active Disk more than once.
