Schechter - ISR group account) Distribution: na Organization: Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY Lines: 22 having a bunch of jasmine drives, (140DD, 45DD, 45BP, 40BP, 80BP), I think that what can be said about Jasmine is that there stuff is great unless it fails. Then you are entering hell itself. Do not under any circumstances buy anything except a backpack from them. And the only reason you should consider a backpack is 'cause they're the only ones making them. I have had 6 drives fail, and only one of them get back in less than 2 months. One backpack failed after 4 months usage, was sent in, failed after 2 days, was sent in again. The first time is was in it took 3+ months, now it's been in since Dec 4. I repeat for everyone: speaking for myself as Mac consultant: DO NOT BUY JASMINE. speaking for my department: MANY OF US ARE HIGHLY DISSATISFIED WITH JASMINE'S SERVICE No Disclaimer. -- Mike Schechter, Computer Engineer,Institute Sensory Research, Syracuse Univ.
