"single [ORB] complaint"? Don't overlook this other rave review: x3.dejanews.com[ST_rn=qs]/getdoc.xp?AN=474695317 "...drive thrashes forever..." "...rejects the disk..." "...or simply crashes the system..." "...thrashes, crashes, or is otherwise unable to recognize the drive." "...Castlewood...seem to not have a clue to why this is happening..." "...tells me...ORB is experiencing compatibility problems with the latest operating system..." <<Now every attempt by Iomaniacs to bash Orb points to that one post.>> Nope, there are at least two posts. <<praise after praise is heaped upon Orb by Orb owners and people who want to buy an Orb and avoid "crappy" Iomega drives.>> Not everyone is praising ORB. Possibly Castlewood has poor quality control and spits out 1/2-working and 1/2-garbage. That's still better than Iomega's other "competitors": Sony's HiFUD release proved 100% garbage and Syquest is now 100% out-of-business.

Rocky, You must try harder than that....your transparent attempt to post your own response on usenet is pathetically inept...as usual...Mr. SmartySmart...now Stevie Stevie. Here's a hint, Rocky: Try and mix up the style and word choice in your fake posts...that way it won't be so obvious. Oh, yea...and watch your language on the yahoo thread, Rocky....you are truly the vulgarian. Add another alias to Rocky's name everyone! Rocky Reid, aka SmartySmart, aka IomegaNut (on TMF), aka I_Owe_Mega2 (on Yahoo), aka Stevie Stevie (on Usenet). There are several others he's used just once...on the usenet threads no less (wow...big surprise).
