A friend of mine ordered a Jasmine drive the second week of January and was told
to expect delivery on Feb 2.  On Feb 3 she called Jasmine and was told that 
there would be a delay of 5-6 weeks.  Jasmine of course had already cashed the
check.

I have three or four Jasmine drives on the network I manage.  I haven't had 
a problem with any of them.  I know of several people who have had to wait for
months to get a drive fixed by Jasmine.  Our University computer store no 
longer carries Jasmine products because of Jasmine's poor reliability.

Given the availability of less expensive drives, there doesn't seem to be any
advantage to choosing a Jasmine product.
