As my previous post, place stop loss at 5 7/8, which broke down last week and is an extremely negative indicator. Present trading range is a tight 5 1/2 to 6. The biggest and most appropriate "IF" question is when IOM price drops below $5. That's margin call time which will accelerate the decline to the 3 area, which is previous support. In strong market days, the drop will not be immediate. IOM longs can cover the margin calls with other holdings. When general market becomes weak, they will let go of this donkey dog. Breakdown of the 5 support level means it will either drift down to 3 or crash down to 2. Possible pop to the 6 level if IOM announces stock buyback plan, then it will drift back down to 3.

If you took a statistical pol of colledge students, I can assure you that most of them would have no idea what an OS is. I'm sure that they are much more interested in drinking beer and releasing their hormones than swapping hard drives in a computer. But then again, "come on over and I'll show you my removable hard drive" may become synonomous with etchings of days past. If you think the opposite, I'll meet you in Daytona Beach FL in two weeks, during the infamous "spring break" and we'll do a survey. IOM or ORB,etc. Zebedee

>>>> actually replacing the HARD DRIVE in a computer with an ORB Drive...this way, you can have hard drive performance (or even better) and be able to swap out drives with ease. You can have different bootable OS's on each ORB disk..Windows2000 on one, Linux on another, etc. <<<<<< That's going to be hot seller in college campuses where latest and newest are sold each year, and VERY AFFORDABLE! Two OS's in one PC? That's SUPER HOT!!!<< What makes it such a brilliant move by Syed is the fact that ORB drive sell for only $199 RETAIL...remember, this includes 1 ORB disk. And OEM cost is likely much lower than this. Syed has stated that he expects this 2.2 Gig version of ORB to fall to only $99 before long! But more importantly, additional 2.2 Gig ORB disks are only $29 apiece RETAIL. Watch as the disks come in this next week or so, you'll see regular pricing even lower than this. Orb makes it very cheap and effortless to swap out different bootable OS's-- an important feature for College Students who will study in school and eventually graduate into a world of all the different flavors of Linux, BeOS, DOS, Windoze, NT, Mac (Rhapsody), etc. etc. etc. ...and according to the Orb specs and Orb Manuals available at www.castlewood.com, Orb disks do not need special software to format. You can use whatever OS you have to format an Orb disk NATIVE. The included Orb Tools simple make the process faster, according to Castlewood. Also, according to the ORB Owner's Manual, you can even install the EIDE ORB inside a Mac G3.
