I don't understand what "fucing" has anything to do with a thank you note. Your post stated "You saved the guy a bundle and all you got was a fucing thank you note? Is there something else you're not telling us? ". Perhaps, use of proper language (if you learned any) would clarify your question. Let me elaborate on my post which stated "Came across a fellow who just bought an external Zip and 5 disks, and I merely suggested to look into Castlewood Orb. One week later, there was a thank you note for the suggestion and he is just thrilled with the Orb. Glad to see value conscious people out there." Sorry, the post did not clearly state the monetary benefits in the exchange from Zip to Orb. The fellow spent about the same amount of money for the Orb as he had spent on the Zip and disks. All he did was to exchange the Zip and disks for the Orb. He gets an Orb with one 2.2 G disk for about the same price of a Zip and five 100 M disk. He only needs to carry around 1 (one) Orb disk with four (4) times the capacity of five (5) Zip disks. If he were to need more disks, he can get one (1) Orb disk for thirty bucks (U$30), all 2.2 G in one (1) disk. To get 2.2 G capacity on Zip disks, there would be twenty (20) of one hundred Meg (100M) Zip disks at ten bucks (U$10) each, or about two hundred bucks (U$200). Of course, for some people, having twenty (20) disks is much better than just one (1). Another example is where owning twenty (20) one dollar (U$1) bills may be better than owning one (1) one hundred (U$100) bills. I realize this may be a bit convoluted and somewhat difficult to comprehend. It took me six years (when I was 6 years old) to learn differentiation of number values. That's why I have learned to always prefer the one U$100 bill to the twenty singles, or one 2.2 G Orb disk at $30 instead of the twenty 100 Meg Zip disks at $10 each. Apparently that fellow has similar appreciation. I like to add one more point. Europeans are much more value conscious than Americans. When the Orbs become widely available in Europe, then Jaz European sale will likely to drop precipitously. Such appreciation and differentiation on the worth of values may be the result of the European education system, which covers mandatory one year of algebra by end of 9th grade, and 2 years of calculus by end of high school. Plus, they have less money to burn and the value added tax makes them pay up.
