RE: Reliability of Zip Rod, How much weight should I give to an unsubstantiated assertion about Zip quality problems from an expert named Moosewinkle? Do you think it should cause me to think that the three Zips and one Jaz I use regularly, along with about 30 Zip disks and 5 Jaz cartridges, are flukes because they haven't given me any problems whatsoever, just as my 2 Bernoulli 44s and dozens of Bernoulli cartridges never gave me a bit of trouble? Do you think it counteracts the adoption of the Bernoulli as the backup of choice in the Department of Defense for sensitive data? I wish the hard drives I've used over the years had this kind of quality problem. Maybe I should start buying Moosewinkle brand hard drives. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)

Hey, Macfearsome.....on Mar 27, I asked if you'd care to disclose whether you've ever had a professional or economic relationship with Iomega or any of its competitors. Your silence grows louder by the day. Not that it matters, but you sound like the model former employee. FWIW, I find your incessant rant about IOM product reliability grossly overblown and irksome.....as a result,I've decided to put a spell on you.....every single one of your favorite electronic gadgets is now scheduled to melt down June 6.
