Orb also available at these locations:
expressupgrades.com
widgetsinc.com
cdrexpress.com

$199 and $30 prices are so "cheap", they automatically become their specials.

Hmmm...Lest we forget so quickly,

Hey how about our bet? Did you forget that as well?

Rocky -

You claimed that SparQ sales caused Iomega to lose money on Jaz sales last year. That is not true.

Total SyQuest sales for 1998 were perhaps a third of Iomega sales revenues for Jaz alone. That's total revenues for SyQuest, not just SparQ sales.

Unit sales of SparQ were somewhere around one tenth of Jaz unit sales in 1998.

I know you'd like to believe that SyQuest's big money-loser created bigger problems for Jaz, but there just isn't any evidence to support that view.

BTW, the Orb drive, on paper, does look like a really great product. I haven't seen one in person yet.

PS: How about your bet with Jock? As of now, you have welshed on it.
