<<< This is today.....at PCMall. Jaz cartridges...over 48,000 in stock(forty-eight thousand) Zip cartridges...over 303,000 in stock(three hundred and three thousand) Orb cartridges...exactly 83 in stock(eighty-three)>>> Of course it makes sense that the percentage of ORB's sold is higher. for each 8.3 ORB's sold 4,800 Jaz and 30,300 Zips must fly off the self to stay even. Now that is RR's logic! Tom

Denial..ain't just a river in Egypt... It's also clearly evident here in Iomegaland. PCMall clearly states that Parallel ORB is outselling everything else in its inventory, including Zip and Jaz. It is understandable that this would come as a shock to those Iomaniacs who have brainwashed themselves into thinking that Iomega was invincible. Clearly, the market is ready to adopt another "standard." And the bargain that ORB represents is proving to be a very good seller...remember when Zip was considered a bargain? Now it's the MOST EXPENSIVE $/MB drive on the market. Just think when SCSI and USB and FIREWIRE(!) ORBs hit the shelves....the Mac market will EXPLODE with ORBs... SCSI is due early June...USB soon after...and Firewire? That will be one SMOKING drive on a G3 Mac...
