>>Considering most Americans can't get the blinking 12:00 off the VCR, there will be very few buyers of a 10GB drive to copy DVD's.<<

Syed wasn't talking about a DVD-copier to Orb disks. He was talking about a VCR with a an Orb drive instead of tape that was as easy to operate as pushing the single Record button. You could record your football game in DVD quality and replay it starting anywhere instantly. He was talking about a simple box that sits on your TV- you put in an Orb cart, and press either Play or Record, just like your present VCR.

If the 10 Gig Orb cart costs $29 like the 2.2 Gig does, this product could very well succeed. This is the market Syed has expressed a wish to enter. Orb for PC's was just to get the basic product off the ground. I think he has succeeded.

Jaz is WAY too expensive for this.
