Your Jasmine 45 drive did what just about every other one did: it broke.
(Technical details not necessary; just know that, for a long period,
Jasmine was shipping faulty drives.)

Ours broke twice. Jasmine replaced our first one quickly, but have had
our last one since this past fall. Today, Karen (415 282 1111 x679
I think) called up and said "Since our shipping department is so slow,
we are calling our Bay Area customers to ask them if they want to
pick up the drive."

So I made my way to 1740 Army Street in a borrowed car with a friend
of mine looking for a way to blow off finals, and picked up my drive
at the security guard's desk just before he was about to leave.

Out front, there was a moving van, loading up the company's stuff.
Bye-bye Jasmine -- nice knowing ya.
