kjude and all: a WSJ column about SparQ, about two weeks old, but factual and fair... Sparq Boosts PC's Disk Space, But Don't Rush to Buy It Yet By WALTER S. MOSSBERG interactive.wsj.com Excerpt: it's too bad I can't advise most people to run out later this month and snatch up a Sparq drive when they appear in stores. After a few days of testing the Sparq drive on two different Windows 95 PCs, I've concluded that the drive -- and its accompanying software and manuals -- has too many rough edges and missing elements, at least in the initial production run, to make it a good choice for average, nontechnical PC owners.<snip> For that reason, I advise anybody who's not a techie to wait a few months before buying a Sparq drive. SyQuest says it's fixing these problems, and I'd wait until enough time has passed for it to do so.
