Here's an excerpt from that Greenberg column:

In the past, this column has reported an alleged high failure rate with the Jaz. Iomega itself announced a recall of Jaz disks
earlier this year. However, just last week I heard from Lynne Porterfield, who's in the graphic design business in San
Francisco. She said she has returned at least 15 defective Jaz disks over the past nine months, ''and that's conservative.''
Most weren't from the batch that was recalled.

Meanwhile, Tom Santos, owner of Macadam, a San Francisco Mac dealer, says all seven of the Jaz drives he personally
owns have quit working.

I reported the same thing a year ago when some friend's Jaz drives were malfunctioning. I was ridiculed and laughed at. No one is laughing now. They have since had to replace all of their Jaz drives and numerous Jaz carts.

As soon as this baby hits 32, I'm outta here. Good riddance to this clever marketer of shoddy, low-end products.
