Well, I currently own three Bigfoots, all salvaged from IBM Aptivas

suspect one of them is about ready to give up the ghost judging by some
weird noises it's been making lately. I guess they must have come from a
decent batch or something.

Both of them that I had failled miserably within their first year!


All of which explains why Quantum is no longer a drive manufacturer.
Maxtor bought them, a marriage of equals in product quality... Ben Myers
