RE: SparQ Disks. >> SparQ + 7 disks over lifetime = $399.00 << But where are you going to find 7 disks? I went to Fry's today, and when I left they only had 4 SparQ disks on the shelf. - Michael Coley - wwol.com

Re: >>>SparQ + 7 disks over lifetime = $399.00, Jaz + 7 disks over lifetime = $813.00. Looks like more than twice as much to me. Not to mention it gets much worse the more disks you need to buy!<<< Yes, we're all aware that the SparQ has the best cost per MB. Of course the article did not include your example. However, if you believe that the author really meant to include disks in the Jaz comparison, how do you explain the Zip comparison made earlier in the very same paragraph where he states: "At $199, it's priced about the same as a Zip drive?" The author simply made a mistake and was apparently not aware of the recent price reductions on Jaz. Nice try. Regareds - Dale
