Mitch, Thanks for the reassuring post and link. I, too, got the feeling from ORBI'S IR person that the company was handling the problem, however serious it might be. I do hope it is a non-event for ORBI and its suppliers. So many companies are going to be hammered with this problem, that companies like ORBI, if problem free, will certainly be in the catbird seat. Speaking of being in the catbird seat, I just swiped the following from the ORBI AOL board. I certainly CANNOT vouch for its accuracy, but thought it made for interesting reading.

Update POINTCAST for a ton of news. This company is red hot. The new ORBCOMM division alone is setting up rail cars, tractor trailers, county snow plows, etc with satellite locators as fast as they can write the deals. Dick Simon Trucking is outfitting every truck in their fleet. Dispatch knows if the truck is off or running, idling or MPH, location within 100 feet, if trailer is hitched or separated, and if the trailer is refrigerated?--Yes--is it at the proper temp. This is a 5-10 bagger. GO ORBI."
