Re: TECH HIT Syquest vs Zipdrive

[Brad Riffel <riffel@TENET.EDU>]

Wrong!!
You will be making a big mistake to go with SyQuest.
Zip is becoming the standard.
Syquest is losing money on every EZ drive they  make. They have already
lost this battle.
I bought a Beta over VHS because I thought it to be better. Big mistake.
Don't make the same one.
The Zip drive and cartridges are much more reliable and durable. Ask
anyone in the know.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields and
and until we meet again...
may God hold you in the palm of His Hand.
