First of all I don't think the tie ratio is 5 disks per year, I believe it is more like 5 disks per drive. I know when I bought mine I purchased a six pak of disks and have no need for anymore. I don't plan another purchase of disks until the price is approximately half of the current price. For long term storage I use CD-R. Therefore I believe your disk numbers for the future are a bit skewed on the high side. I also believe Iomega handling of the Jaz 2 drive is almost criminal. It cost only a few dollars more to build that drive than the Jaz drive costs, yet they are tring to get a $200+ premium for it. No one I know will pay $500 for a 2 gig drive and then have to buy a SCSI card on top of that. The price should immediately drop to the Jaz levels and the jaz drives be discontinued. (keep on building the jaz cartridges, they are worth the price differential). With pricing the way it now is jaz 2 will never take off. Just my two cents worth. Carl Price
