FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Iomega Unveils Lifeworks Journal And File Cabinet Software

New Portable Software Applications For Today's Zip Drive Users

ROY, Utah, June 22, 2001 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a global leader in reliable portable data storage, today announced two new Iomega® LifeWorksTM portable software titles, LifeWorks Journal and LifeWorks File Cabinet. Powered by Iomega's Active Disk technology, these portable applications run entirely from Zip® disks and leave no trace on the host computer.

LifeWorks Journal software is today's digital diary, allowing users to record daily events on a password-protected Zip disk. Digital images and voice messages can be inserted in the text, and a search engine easily locates specific entries. Users can change the appearance of the journal's pages and chart happiness and health levels over time with a mood tracker.

LifeWorks File Cabinet software makes it easy to scan paper documents and organize electronic files of any type. Users simply drag files into drawers and folders of their digital file cabinet. Related documents can be 'stapled' together, moved as a group and printed with a single click. The scanning feature reduces bills and other paper clutter to a single disk.

"By automatically launching from a Zip disk, Active Disk enabled software can be carried to an office or a friend's house where the owner normally wouldn't have access to his or her personal software," said Werner Heid, president and CEO, Iomega Corporation. "Truly portable software applications are a unique benefit of the Zip platform and add value to a product that is already trusted by millions of people for durable and reliable data storage."

The new titles join LifeWorks Photo Album software and Active Disk enabled shareware titles. The shareware titles are available for free download at http://www.iomega.com/clubiomega/activedisk.html. Iomega LifeWorks Journal and LifeWorks File Cabinet software titles are expected to be available in July 2001 for $29.95 (U.S.) per title. For more information, visit http://www.iomega.com.
