>>Give us the numbers.<<

Castlewood reps at PC Expo stated that they have sold 100,000 Orb drives so far in about 3 month's time. I find this number stupendous, since Castlewood has had NO advertising. Plus, the Parallel port version has only been available for 6 weeks. SCSI version isn't even available yet, but when it is, it will be snatched up so fast it'll make your head spin! Castlewood sales are all word-of-mouth so far. Syquest sold 500,000 Sparqs in 9 month's time but heavily advertised it.

If Castlewood starts advertising, watch out. Zip sales could take a rather nasty turn downward... even more than they are now.

Jaz? Stick a fork in it. It's done.
