[rescue] on-topic q about Jaz and Suns and SGIs

[Ken Hansen]

I have not used one before, but my wife does at work, and they have 
switched over to CD-R/CD-RW at her office - compared to current CD-R/RW 
drives, there is very little benefit (if any) to Jaz drive over CD-R/RW.

I think the price for the Jaz w/3 2 Gig disks is a good price, but how 
old are the disks/how much life is left in them (they wear out), and if 
tey do, consider replacement cost for new medai.

Is there something about a Jaz disk that appeals to you compared with a 
CD-R/RW drive? www.dirtcheapdrives.com has brand new Plextor CD-RW 
drives (SCSI, of course - internal) for $199, extenal SCSI CD-RW are 
closer to $300.

Hope this helps,

Ken
