It's 75,000 not 750,000 Jaz disks recalled.

Emory, you state: "Maybe they can enlighten us with the REAL truth ;-) about this story."

Well 75K disks is the "REAL truth". It is not your fault however, Computer Reseller News screwed up.

To read, you can go to CRN and search on Iomega:

techweb.cmp.com

They did state in the article that the disks manufactured between March 13 and April 20, 1997, are subject to the recall, and the problem with the disks stems from faulty components supplied by a third-party manufacturer.

You can verify the CRN error by reading Iomega's Official press release at:

biz.yahoo.com

By the way, just for the record, I am one of those "Iomega types" except I dump on Syquest on a regular basis, not just when there is news.

Regards - Dale
