Z, I'm just amazed at some of the things you are saying. "the 7000 has heat problems and a high return rate"?! This drive has been around for years, has sold over a million drives, has been widely lauded as a great drive, and all of the sudden there are these major problems with it? Give me a break. You know I have had a lot of respect for you, and you may recall (I certainly do) that you were the person who first gave me any insight into the potential of DLT years ago. It is unbecoming for you--who have always helped set a really wonderful tone on most of the drive threads most of the time--to say these things at this point. If you want to bash SDLT, which hasn't appeared and doesn't have a track record, that is one thing. But to bash the 7000 with its track record is another. I can't say I understand it. I don't believe that these boards move stocks in any great way, maybe some one day moves a little, but I don't believe that people don't invest good money in a company because of what they read here. Nevertheless, it is irritating to me to read nonsense here, especially from someone with whom I don't associate that kind of thing. For the record and FWIW, people who I know who have both the 7000 and the 8000 don't report mechanical problems with them. Quite the opposite. They have been reliable workhorses. Puzzled, Sam
