Ressler,

<I disagree, Iomega doesn't have to find a public solution to a relativity small number of failures.>

I agree. If ZIP failures are less than or equal to other similar products why should Iomega wage a PR campaign. I believe KE said in earlier statements that ZIP reliability was well within the limits of the industry. That's enough. The more public statements they make the more it will get blown out of proportion.

On the other hand, I agree that Iomega should continue to do everything possible to reduce defects and improve reliability no matter how good their reliability is. One defect, is one defect too many if it's yours.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that ZIP is perfect or that any electronic product is defect free. But no data has been presented to refute Iomega's claim that ZIP reliability is equal to or better than the industry standard.

Unless I see data, I will dismiss assertions such as "there has never been a less reliable product" as complete non-sense.

In engineering we have a saying, "In God we trust.....all others bring data!"
