castlewoodsystems.com This is the URL for the upcoming web site that will spell certain doom for Jaz2. It is Castlewood's Web page. It doesn't exist yet, but this will be the URL regardless. Castlewood's Orb 2.16 Gig drive for $199 bodes badly for both Iomega AND Syquest. Iomega may still sell some Zips, but Jaz is soon to be history. SparQ and Orb are going to crush it.

Holiday today, expect a slow day: Teen-age whiz kids accused of on-line theft SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Four teen-age whiz kids hacked their way into an on-line auction house, stole credit card numbers and went on a shopping spree for some $20,000 worth of computer equipment, police said Monday. "Obviously stealing hubcaps wasn't good enough for these kids," said James Cost, police department spokesman in San Carlos, about 20 miles south of San Francisco. The four youths, all aged between 14 and 16, were arrested Friday on suspicion of organizing the scheme and later released into the custody of their parents, Cost said. They have not yet been formally charged as juvenile affairs officers assess the case. Police say the group's sophisticated scam involved hacking into a local Internet service company and then into an on-line auction house, where they were able to copy down credit card numbers. Using these numbers, they went on a shopping binge for high-tech computer equipment, throwing police off the track by having the goods delivered to vacant neighborhood houses. Only after one boy had computer equipment delivered directly to his house did investigators catch up with the gang, which had already taken delivery on some $5,000 worth of high-tech gear. Cost said the teen-agers were extremely sophisticated, and could be the forerunners of a new type of white collar crime as more and more youths turn their Internet expertise to quick profit. "This is a whole new wave we will be facing," he said. REUTERS
