Sam, Thanks for your posts. What is your feel for the growth rate of the tape business? I guess I was expecting something a little zippier. Rob

<<Furthermore, to repeat something that has been said in other contexts, what difference does it make if you have a tape drive that pulls data at 12mb/sec if the computer system that it is attached to can only deliver it at, say, 6mb/sec? >> See EXBT's press release today where independent testing found M2's full 12 mb throughput realized and the drive was twice as fast as its nearest competitor out of 17 drives including DLT 7000 and 8000. Test after test is finding astouding results for M2 and this type of performance in the absence of competition has to eventually have repurcussions. -Z
