Nope, The PC World article in question is dated today, July 15. 1998. As for Iomega admitting that Click Death is a problem in "less than 1%" of Zips, I'd rather not take their word for it after seeing as how Iomega Management likes to keep sensitive things like this under wraps. Iomega won't even release accurate tie ratio numbers for Chrissakes. So now you're going to trust them with even more sensitive data-- info on their own product failure rate? I wouldn't. I would like to see three things happen before I went long on IOM: 1) release official tie ratio numbers 2) release REAL and ACCURATE product failure rates. "Less than 1%" doesn't cut it as accuracy. 3) release number of Zip drives shipped MINUS the amount of Zips returned from failure, and NOT INCLUDING Refurbished Zip drive sales.
