>>I guess it's time to declare Orb a complete failure, since there have been no announcements of computers with Orb built in.<< You are misinformed. In fact, there are currently 6 Computer OEM's of Orb, as well as a Sanyo VCR-type device. These Strategic Partners of Orb are listed at www.castlewood.com: * Apple Computer, Inc. (January 1999) * Proview Group (November 1998) * EliteGroup Computer Systems Co. Ltd. (November 1998) * Daewoo Electronics Co., Ltd. (November 1998) * Wintec (November 1998) * AIWA Co., Ltd. (April 1998) * Tru-tech (August 1998) * Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. (August 1997) * Trans Capital (April 1997) As a matter of fact, at Comdex '98, there were several well-documented eyewitness accounts of the PC OEM's at the Castlewood Booth. The display Computers had Orb drives built-in, as did the really cool looking Sanyo Orb-based VCR. It might prove to be helpful to your credibility if you were to do at least a little research before posting. All of this info was easy to obtain.
