rocksta' -- It was very nice of you to post all these links which indicate that IOM / Zip have won the war to become the STANDARD for removeable storage. BUT Lumpy R. has spent 1,000's of hours constructing 1,000's of posts to tell us just what a worthless piece of techno-crap the Zip is and what a worthless techno-whore of company IOM and its management is. Besides, as he has told us over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, ect. THE STREET HATES IOMEGA!!!! So, until Lumpy concedes that all the people and places your links take us to to tell us that Zip is IT, or until he concedes that the STREET is ready to Kiss-and-Makeup (or makeout even) with IOMEGA...... I think we should continue to reserve judgement about what the information in your links might mean. I mean, ask yourself, Has Lumpy ever lied to us or told us something that wasn't so? Jak!

Another Jaz bites the dust This email just showed up in the Roland mailing list that I subscribe to. The following text is re-printed in its entirety. -------- Subject: [vs880] Re: [Gear] Re: SP/DIF Cables Date: Sat, 9 May 1998 14:25:40 EDT From: Jazzooo <Jazzooo@aol.com> Reply-To: vs880@lists.virtualstudio.org To: "Roland VS Recorders Discussion List" < vs880@lists.virtualstudio.org> In a message dated 98-05-08 23:59:08 EDT, you write: << + Anthony....I bought the exact same cables from RS except they're 2 metre [6ft]. Never lost a bit/byte. Perfect recovery everytime. >> ...But they'll fail sooner than mine. And usually it's at a very inconvenient time. Everyone sounds like I used to about the Jaz drive. I'd read lots of negative opinions, but I couldn't be pursuaded--mine had always worked perfectly. I defended and defended my choice of backup, telling people they were brainwashed for 18 months... ...until my Jaz did fail and ate 9 of the 11 songs from my brother's almost completed CD project. I then entered about a month's worth of terror, shipping the disk around to various computer experts who couldn't help me. Finally MegaChew saved my ass. Better safe than sorry. Welcome back, wiz. Hope you're well. Doug Robinson --------- Ahh... the testimonials just keep pouring in!
