Re: MD: Off topic... Iomega Rebate
I used to have a 1GB Jaz drive. It died every two weeks. Whenever I brought it back to the service center, I got a new one. After 5 times drive failure, the last one I have is made in Singapore instead of Malaysia. I decided to sell it. I lost of a couple of important files.

A while ago, we have debate here about how good iomega products are. I found this news from CNet news.com. Iomega is giving out rebates to millions of customers who purchased their zip drive between 1/1/95 to 3/19/2001.

Re: MD: Off topic... Iomega Rebate
yes, but it's not that big of a rebate... I got my mail from them the other day. It's not much money and without going through in detail, it's hard to tell if it's money or just a discount on the next purchase, from the way it's written. Unless you bought a bunch of drives it's unlikely you'll even see twenty dollars for your effort of trying to collect. just my .02 -Jeffrey On Tue, 17 Apr 2001, Taky Cheung wrote: A while ago, we have debate here about how good iomega products are.

Re: MD: Off topic... Iomega Rebate
Hehe I saw that in the daily Infobeat news on monday... *** Iomega settles Zip drive lawsuit SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Iomega Corp. will give rebates to millions of customers as part of a settlement of a class-action lawsuit that claimed its Zip drives are defective. U.S. customers who bought a Zip drive from a store or authorized manufacturer between Jan. 1, 1995 and March 19, 2001 will be entitled to rebates worth up to $40 for various Iomega products. The settlement comes out of a lawsuit filed in Delaware in 1998, which claims the Roy-based company's mainstay product had a manufacturing flaw that often caused the drives and disks to fail. The suit also alleged that many of the drives made constant clicking noises - nicknamed "the click of death" - before failing. Plaintiffs' attorney Mike Dodge estimated 28 million Zip drive purchasers are part of the suit. Iomega will also donate $1 million in products and services to schools, pay attorneys fees for the lawsuit and provide free technical support for customers who experience the clicking. Makes me glad i didnt buy a zip drive and stuck to archiving to CD-R. An awful lot cheaper to do CD-R too these days :-) PrinceGaz.

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === it's a $40 discount on your next purchase. Almost as pathetic as the $50 i got for my TV lol I get this letter saying that I get a settlement for some class action lawsuit and get a cool $50 for nothing, never had problems with the TV. - Original Message - From: "Jeffrey Scorsone" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 5:07 PM Subject: Re: MD: Off topic...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Iomega Corp. will give rebates to millions of customers as part of a settlement of a class-action lawsuit [...] This is actually pretty stupid, as iomega was replacing drives and disks *even if they were out of warranty*... kinda shows you what kind of mentality people have nowadays...

It's just a discount for their products, and you can only get it in October, after the suit is settled (if they are found guilty). Unless your drive failed (in which case you should have asked them to replace it), you really don't get much at all.

Re: MD: Off topic... Iomega Rebate
I guess the point isn't really about how much money we can get from Iomega. The point is Iomega's Jaz and Zip drives suck. :) Taky Cheung http://hottaky.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "JT" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 12:15 AM Subject: Re: MD: Off topic...
