And yet as Technoslick knows, I have been using a Fujitsu 20Gb drive for a couple of years, and was using a Fujitsu 4Gb drive for my home partition until last month. That one was ... um? 5-6 year old? And never a moment's trouble. Problem is that when a company gets a bad batch or bad new design out it is all too easy for them to lose credibility. And if they refuse to publicly admit that there's a problem or a responsibility to fix it (now who else do we know that takes that line?) then a good deal of damage is done. Anne
