Someone asked whether or not the NeXT disks were reliable.  I was at a
NeXT demo on friday, and someone there asked the same question.  The rep
said that they were having problems with the read laser trashing info
instead of just reading it, but that the problem had been fixed.  I have
also heard tell that a large amount of the space on the disks is used for
error correction.  Anyone else out there know more?  Please notice that
I have directed follow-ups to comp.sys.next.
