I mentioned a while back that I was in progress of buying a jasmine 20
Hard disk. Since It is now here and running, I thought I'd let the net know
about how things went.

I was promised a ship date of 10/8, 2nd day UPS. When it didn't show up as
expected, I called Jasmine to see what was going on. It turns out that they
were backordering beige units due to a manufacturing problem at one of their
suppliers. They told me if I wanted a platinum unit, I could have it shipped
the same day. Needless to say, I said yes. 

They DID ship it that day. And they shipped it Federal Express instead of
UPS, at no extra cost to me. I think THAT is a class act.

The thing is plug and play. You plug it in, it boots. It's fast (I was using
a paradise 10 serial HD. Te jasmine is as much faster than the paradise as
the paradise is faster than a floppy. I'm in heaven...)

The manual, by the way, is wonderful, complete, and goes overboard to get
you information, sources for helpful utilities, and other useful
information. Another plus for Jasmine.

And one final comment about the manual. Jasmine ships about 10 meg of PD and
Shareware software on the disk. They make sure you know, in no uncertain
terms, that if you want to use the shareware stuff you better pay for it. 

Jasmine is a good product and a class act. Buy lots of them -- they're worth
it (and not only that, they are one of the cheapest hard disks for the size
on the market! amazing!)
