5, 2000--Iomega Corporation
(NYSE:IOM), a global leader in data management solutions,
today announced that its Zip(R) 250 USB drive was honored
by PC World with a 2000 World Class Award in the Best
Removable Media Drive category. "The World Class
Award winners represent an all-star line-up of the year's

of PC World. "Throughout the year, the editors
scout outstanding players in hardware and software for
our readers. These awards honor the finest the industry

Celebrating its 18th year, the respected World Class
Awards honor the top hardware, software, and Web products
in the computer industry. To select the best of the
best, PC World's editors, testers and contributors examined
the entire gamut of products that have appeared in the
magazine over the past year. Hundreds of products in
more than 70 categories were judged on performance,
value, consistency and innovation. The World Class Award
winners were announced in the July 2000 issue of PC
World and will be presented with trophies at an award
ceremony to be held during PC Expo in New York. "We
are truly honored that our Zip 250 USB drive has received
a PC World World Class Award," said Mark Lucas,

line has a long history of award-winning products, and
the Zip 250 USB drive is no exception. We are extremely
pleased that the editors of PC World have recognized
this product as the leader in the removable storage
