Hi, Mindmeld,

I was quite positive to IOM until recently after they hired some of the worst guys in HDD industry to their PDA group.

Why I am so negative to IOM now, just tell you a story.

I have a friend John who was a director of QA at a major
HDD company, his boss was recently hired by IOM PDA group. One time
they were trying to develop a new disk drive, but serious quality
issue delayed the launching the drive. He was under pressure from
his boss to let the drive pass but he refused to sign. finally,
his boss replaced him and the drive passed QA automatically. His
boss got a big bonus because he met the schedule.

my friend resigned after this. I am more and more concerned new JAZ
now. SUch bad thing could happen again.
At least, as long as such person in charge at IOM, I will never
buy IOM drive .

If your guys want to know more such bad stories, I can get more]
for you.

GOod luck.

Andy
