Buy a jasmine! We (Fictional Reality, the OtherRealms people) just bought
our second, finally decommissioning the old, very reliable, Paradise 10
serial drive [I'm frankly not sure whether to sell it or enshrine it. The
drive software is going on three years old, and it works fine with the
current system. Certain other disk manufacturers should take note and be
ashamed....] They're fast, they're reliable, they're accessible, and they
give good support. When I had a problem with the shipment of the first
drive, they not only expedited it, they shipped it overnight to me -- at
their cost. That's service. You call them on the phone, they have answers.
They have a BBS where you can call up and download the new versions of their
system software.

And they're inexpensive. 20 megabyte hard disk under $700, plug it in and
play. Like, wow.

(no, I'm not a paid shill for Jasmine. But much of the Mac business
community could learn from these folks....)
