FACTS:
- ORB is shipping
- ORB is cheap
- ORB is fast
- ORB has lowest cost / Mbyte (by far...)
- ORB is current technology (years ahead of JAZ)

RED HERRINGS:
- Write verify

QUESTIONS
- Can Castlewood make money?
- reliability not yet proven

ASSESSMENT:
Will have a material impact on JAZ and ZIP250 sales as long as castlewood survives. ORB blasts Iomega on all counts.

OTHER:
- LS-120 'winner' in APPLE market
- LS-120 penetrating PC market.
- Iomega barely makes money owning 87% of the market.
- CLIK! (in it's current form) will make barely a dent

This is what I see. Should be interesting to watch...
