Hi Allen,

This statement really intriged me:

Now many of these users are getting brand new PCs from the company. The PCs are
all configured at the office, and shipped out to the employees' homes. How are all
these users going to backup their home systems? Certainly not to the company
backup servers over analog or ISDN phone lines.

**** Nope, many of these nice new PCs are being fitted with internal Jaz drives. And they
get a few disks to go with them. ***

My comments:

This is one avenue I haven't thought of. Yes, it is definitely true
that corporations are less cost sensitive than the consumer, and yes,
telecommuting IS the future..

Is it really true that you are fitting many PCs with Jaz drives? This
knocked me out of my chair. Or are people still using tape. (most
corporation bought PCs that I've seen are fitted with a tape drive..)

Most corporations (that I know) buy Gateway, Compaq, or HP computers.
Is this what you are seeing also? Because of those 3, NONE are including
the ZIP or JAZ as an option (remember, HP's business line of computers
don't include a ZIP). Are you installing these as add ons??

Thanks Allen,

kp
