>>Allen, i was thinking that it is just a ploy by nomai to give disks to non-experts like the press so that they can errouniosly validate nomai's claim that the disks work. a thorough testing requires special equipment and a special setting and it has to be done by experts in the field. i think that by going ahead with nomai's ploy one is falling in nomai's trap. i would test the disks myself but i would not make public any results because they can be misleading.<<

Robert -

I agree with you that this is basically a marketing ploy by Nomai. Naturally, most members of the press are not equipped to do strenuous media testing, although some are. I've seen PC Magazine's labs, for example, and they are quite impressive.

I am very aware that even if the disks are not rejected out of hand by my Zip drives, and do not immediately fail under testing, that does not mean that they meet Iomega's quality standards. I hope everyone else understands that as well.
