>>If Jaz disk is selling for $25, then what advantage does the Orb "vapor" drive have? <<

Well, for one thing, even with a Jaz1 disc selling for $25, it's still only 1 Gig. An Orb disc is $25 for 2 Gigs. Twice the value. Besides, the Orb 2 Gig drive is $199 list, as opposed to the insane Jaz2 at $349 list or so.

And technically, Orb is not "Vapor" anymore, since it is shipping to OEM's as we speak. But in a hard-liner take, I guess unless one actually sees it on the shelf, it is Vapor.
