Rocky - Keep up the good work. Your inputs to this thread have kept me in even keel and out of hot water. This Castlewood maybe for real, specially if the CEO remembers lessons from SYQT and make sure of high quality control. ORB's pricing will make it tremendous competition for the Jaz. Many people stay away from Jaz because of the expensive disks, i.e. not cost effective for large data storage and archive. I am looking forward to getting the ORB and will see if it is realiable and faster than Jaz2, as it claims. The $30 for 2.2 G disk is just absolutely phenomenal breakthrough and will be a great selling point. I have also known several people whose jaz and zip drives failed and IOM told them "sorry". Considering the small percentage of failures (so they claimed), it would have been best if IOM replace them free of charge. These folks bought their Jaz and Zips several years ago, at prices higher at prevailing price. It would have been good public relations if IOM had replaced them. Instead, IOM lost existing users and show lack of support behind their product. On the other hand, perhaps there is a great deal more problems with the IOM drives than the reported half percent defective. I just got an email of a broken (quit or conked out) Jaz drive and she wants to sell me the 1G disk. Anybody knows if my Jaz drive will be safe to use this disk from a broken Jaz? That reminds me of one more story. Recently, a friend's out of warranty Nokia cellphone suddenly quit and it was repaired free of charge. Several months ago, another friend's Motorola cellphone (also out of warranty) quit and MOT service dept. wanted $150 in advance just to look at it. Luckily my present Nokia cellphone is in good working order, and when the time comes for an upgrade, guess what that cellphone will be? And guess which one I will strongly recommend in the future?
