Sheila , Re:>>> ORB about to hit the " DUST " ??? <<< What you are saying is that Castlewoods ORB is DOA ??? O'My , O'My , O'My This puts the ORB along with the Rocket ,the Syjet ,the Superdisk the HiFd and all the other challengers to the Zip . Darn it all anyway ,the zip's competitors are all going down the drain and now Iomega can raise the price on the Zip Drive and make a profit this year . Iomega's gross revenues may even go over the 2 Billion mark for the second time in it's history this year . I just cannot keep up with all of this . Herb

RE: Castlesh: Darn it! Now IOM is going to have to buy ANOTHER** company at fire sale prices. Don't they know that if they keep this up, there won't be any competition left? Then what would the Rocksters do for a living? -Ken

How do you know which company they were dealing with ? Besides there are enough suppliers out there. Also when you state "cheap media" what do you mean ? $5, 7$ ? What is the cost delta between the "cheap media" supplier and another supplier ? How do you know their inventory ? Inexpensive Jaz ? I had lunch with an M.E. that is working on the Orb killer and guess what ? Contamination problems will likely delay the release until 10/99. Oops ! I guess Iosh** is in worse shape in the R&D dept. then you know. Take this ball and do you know what with it.
