Subject: Do you use a Bernoulli drive?

I'm thinking about getting a removable cartridge drive and was
wondering what people thought about the Bernoulli drives from Iomega.
I've read all the articles in the magazines and am not concerned with
compatibility with other people since I don't transfer large files.
I'm more concerned with reliability and general purpose use - backups,
specialized volumes (ie I want a publishing disk with all my fonts and
PageMaker and all that stuff that clutters my hard disk for the few
times a month that I use it). Cost is not a super big deal - I'd like
to pay as little as possible, but I'm willing to pay to get a reliable
system - I hate disk errors, particularly on large volumes.

So if you've used a Bernoulli drive, send me mail and let me know what
you think. I'll summarize if there are enough responses and if it's
worth it, I'll even write an article for TidBITS on the subject.

Many thanks!
