Elmer - Hmmm. So what you're saying is, "Iomega bad, Castlewood good." Does that about sum it up? - Allen

Castlewood ORB #1 Best-Seller for 6 Weeks Running! Come on Elmer, What exactly does that really mean ? Give us some real numbers. Someone could easily report Sony HiFud best selling product at Yuki's storage hut, or IOM is releasing a self-winding Clik!, Ooops. It's all meaningless. Give us the numbers.

Rocky, What is the return rate for the ORB. I have followed a number of posts concerning this and it looks rather high to me. I am sure that your "friends" at Castlewood will tell you. Of course it is their intention to pump and dump the ORB next year so they may not reveal their sad numbers. Oh what a short opportunity that will be, Herb
