Lucy and Ken <<<<2)Never transport the Clik! disk in the Clik! drive.>>

Rocky states <<Is this why the Iomega Flop! Owner's Manual states emphatically that one must NEVER have the Flop! disk inside the Flop! drive while moving?>>

What a pile of crock. It says nothing about moving.

Ken states <<Does it really state that? If this is true then CLIK! has absolutely no chance whatsoever...>>

There you have it. One the basis of two witnesses an issue is settled. They both agree the Elephant is actually a tree.

All drive manufacturers state that you should not keep a disk in the drive when the drive is nonoperational. Nevertheless, many Americans keep their disks in their drive while they are non-operational. The probability of a disk being damaged outside the drive is SIGNIFICANTLY greater than the probability of a disk being damaged while in the drive. Elements to protect the disk are in place in the drive, no such elements to protect a disk exist outside the drive. Nevertheless, this has been standard terminology on ALL removable drive products of which I'm aware. It limits the companies liability. They are not going to suggest that you ALWAYS leave the disk in the drive as it increases their liability, albeit ever so slight. You show me ONE clik! drive and/or disk damaged now or ever as a result of leaving a disk in the drive and I'll show you a the POPE doing mass clad only in bermuda shorts. Both are probable, but both are highly unlikely.
