Re: Rocky's post on Orb Rocky, I'm sorry to be redundant here, but I can't resist. Why would you think Orb will cut into Jaz sales and not cut into Syquest's? Again, what you are missing here is that you are assuming that Iomega will never lower the price of their discs and drives. This is not going to happen. Iomega will lower their prices as they have successfully attained economies of scale, producing millions and millions of both drives and discs due to CUSTOMER DEMAND. Then, why would anyone in their right mind buy a Syquest or Orb? Regarding the Orb's press release specifically regarding MTF, this is an idiotic argument. 250K hours is 28 years. Oh no!!! Orb's MTF is 33 years. Do you really think anyone will be using Jaz or Orb in 30 years? No. By then they'll be using Jaz 10. Castlewood and Syquest will have been out of business for 29 years by then. And, you'll be penniless, after making more and more bad investment decisions. And, since you'll have no more money, we won't have to endure your stupidity on this thread anymore. I actually have changed my mind about your presence on the thread. You provide lots of comic relief and I appreciate that. Any other stupid comments you'd like to add?
