>Will there someday be a replacement for the Jaz that people will bolt to? Yes. Could it be the Orb?< And SyQuest is suing Castlewood for "trade secret theft" with relation to Orb. Castlewood was founded by the SyQuest founder. So, the two weak companies will blow their money in court instead of production.

Tom, Thanks for your detailed wonderful analysis on ORB vs. JAZ. I was not at all planning to sell my IOM shares. I just find it interesting and exciting to follow this stock on a day to day basis and get the valuable info from all you tech experts. My son, the patent attorney in D.C., is visiting us this weekend and we were discussing the implications of the former CEO of Syquest starting up a CO. and manufacturing a storage product possibly similar to SYQT's. I asked him whether SYQT will be suing. Then I noted in one of the posts that they do have a suit against him.(GOOD) The competitiveness of this industry boggles my mind. Thank goodness we don't encounter this in medicine...IOM is my retirement plan. SR
