Re steering people away from Jaz. Anyone in need of reassurance about what the direct channel is recommending, go read the Jan 1998 Computer Shopper page 80 article on Buying Backup drives, by Greg Keizer. It's a balanced article when it comes to describing the options, with Jaz clearly not winning on feed and speed technical merits or on price. But it goes on: My calls uncovered an almost universal recommendation - Iomega's removable, 1GB per cartridge Jaz drive ... Too bad Herbie doesn't really try to get a representative sample before he writes his column. Makes him look pretty stupid relying on one anti-IOM channel contact. P.S. to Andy: Let go, man. Let go. Specifically he found the following recs: Dirt Cheap Drives: Jaz Harmony Computers: Jaz and SyJet PC MAll : Jaz PC Zone: Jaz In a followup box, Alfred Poor found more mixed results. But It seems like it was mostly because he got some very poorly informed reps. They told him stupid things like he "wouldn't be able to write directly" to a Jaz like a hard disk, but rather Jaz was like tape!
