Our dilemma is that we still supply our software on 3480s! We've got a new z9 and a 3490 drive and thought going to 3490Es was right - most customers could read them. Not sure if they can all read 3590Es. admil.co.uk say they can't get them. Still awaiting reply from Media Resources. Hope everyone has got enough in stock for all their future requirements!!

They're denser, faster, "dirt" cheap to buy on the used market, and because they are newer technology, the monthly maintenance costs should be lower than 3490 drives. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 edja...@phoenixsoftware.com http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
