Jock, Dreamworks is Spielberg, Geffen, and ?....all baddass guys so RR better clean up his act...on the other hand, I repeat "if a RR posts in the forest and nobody responds..did anything happen?" It's our fault folks that he is still around.

Speaking of flops, whatever happened to that Sony thingie? The mighty Clik! would seem to be topping it 100-1.....or 1,000-1.....soon to be millions-one. I digress. Regardless of who sold what and who sat on his butt (sorry, Buffett's doing the 'Cowboy in the Jungle' thing on the music box).....the one true and indisputable fact here is that RR rhymes with (_o_). Some things never change.

>>The 40MB Flop! mechanical mobil drive has to be a disappointment to shareholders... It is my estimation that they are purposely keeping quantities limited as to not be inundated with faulty and broken Flop! drives right off the bat-- Better to allow some product to be distributed and save face rather than cancel the program altogether. But rest assured, the Flop! program will be cancelled altogether before 2001.<< Rocky, are you sure you are not talking about the HIFud ? This is from your very own Sony HIFud thread that YOU started. Didn't Sony limit the HIFud to just 100 drives ? Message 7695851 To: Daniel Liberty (8 ) From: Timothy Lamb Saturday, Feb 6 1999 4:05PM ET Reply # of 9 Mine could have been an isolated case but I doubt it. I went through a nightmare when my system went down. My first experience with the blue screen of death.Their tech support indicated the problem was my anti virus program currupting the drivers. After I reformated my hard drive, reloaded windows 95 (thanks to gateway help in guiding me through this process SONY was no help) I reloaded the sony drivers (with no software on my PC but the reloaded WIN 95) it crashed again. SONY indicated it could be a problem with my system (which has a SCSI card). They wanted me to disable the SCSI card and try again. This is now 7:30PM and I started what I thought was a simple install @ 7:50PM. Needless to say I thought I paid $200 for a product that worked. Not one that would kill a 12 hour day, 2 weeks of data since my previous backup and missing a deadline for a report with a client (and beleive me the client doesn't care about my SONY problem or that he didn't pay me for work I couldn't bill in December, I lost $2,400 in on billing). It was an expensive product. Tim
