Funny, PCMall (Personal side) hasn't sold a single Orb since early this morning, they had 810, they still have 810. I didn't think things were going so slow in the mail-order business. They had better start selling something or that's one place whose parent company's stock I think I'll short. ; ) Cameron "There's a sucker born every minute."

Ben, Thanks for the details. Your points are good, but maybe Orb is selling well with some crowd. I can concede that for a new drive and a lot of amateurs buying. The same thing happened before with SparkQ and that Shark drive. Lots of high speed removable storage for cheap always draws in a bunch of first time buyers. Those are the ones stuck with those drives now with no company still behind them. If SheetRock posted his picture for purchase I am sure a half dozen idiots would buy a copy (in case they run out of toilet paper.) That's the way the world works. All that matters with Orb is if it can sustain sales, the initial splash doesn't count. David S.
