Rocky -

You claimed that SparQ sales caused Iomega to lose money on Jaz sales last year. That is not true.

Total SyQuest sales for 1998 were perhaps a third of Iomega sales revenues for Jaz alone. That's total revenues for SyQuest, not just SparQ sales.

Unit sales of SparQ were somewhere around one tenth of Jaz unit sales in 1998.

I know you'd like to believe that SyQuest's big money-loser created bigger problems for Jaz, but there just isn't any evidence to support that view.

BTW, the Orb drive, on paper, does look like a really great product. I haven't seen one in person yet.

PS: How about your bet with Jock? As of now, you have welshed on it.
