Bootz, I can vouch for the reliablility of Zip and Jaz drives. I sell the things and of course offer a complete replacement guarantee for any thing I sell. In the past 6 months of selling Zip disks and 3 1/2" floppies by Sony, I have seen only 1 Zip disk come back (out of sales of about 400) and have seen about about 20 bad Sony floppies (and this doesn't tell the whole story since most people just trash a bad floppy). I think the "Click of Death" stories are far more folklore than fact. True, they had bugs in Zip when they first came out but this has been worked out. Reliablility for Iomega is better than the PC market as a whole. Lets not forget some of the Wintel fiascos... -John
