>>I have yet to see an ORB in a retail store<< I have. In two different CompUSA's. >>Where are those phantom 100,000 drives being sold ?<< In the hands of 100,000 happy Orb customers. >>Is PCMall the sole location of Orb distribution ? << No. I suggest you refer to www.castlewood.com. Distribution is now via: Wintec 800-379-0110 www.wintecind.com ASI 800-2100-ASI www.asi2000.com Supercom 800-888-1888 www.supercom.com Ingram Micro 800-456-8000 www.ingrammicro.com Digital Storage 800-232-3475 www.digitalstorage.com CompUSA 800-COMPUSA www.compusastores.com Fry's Electronics 408-487-1000 PC Mall 800-328-2790 www.pcmall.com ComputAbility 800-554-2184 www.computability.com Mac Mall 800-328-2790 www.macmall.com CDW 800-838-4239 www.cdw.com MicroWarehouse 800-397-8508 www.microwarehouse.com Global 800-8-GLOBAL www.globalcomputer.com Wintec Direct 1-510-360-6216 www.wintecdirect.com Microcenter 800-743-7537 www.microcenter.com PC Connection 800-800-5555 www.pcconnection.com MacConnection 800-800-2222 www.macconnection.com ClubMac 800-258-2622 www.clubmac.com PC Zone 800-408-9663 www.pczone.com Mac Zone 888-211-5032 www.maczone.com >> I didn't see one Orb mentioned anywhere in the NY Times Circuits special section today. << Castlewood has not needed to spend a dime on print ads so far. They are selling more ORBs than they can make at present. World of mouth is spreading the gospel of ORB. Once SCSI and USB versions are finally delivered (7/9/99 target), I suspect we may start seeing print ads. >>It's quite possible Castlewood has already discontinued them.<< Only wishful thinking by Iomaniacs. But the ugly truth is that ORB is killing Jaz, and hurting Zip too. And it only gets worse from here. BTW, IOM is not participating in this tech rally. I wonder why? Oh yeah.. a big EARNINGS LOSS is expected.
