In view of a prior note by someone who had had bad experiences with the Jasmine Direct Drive, I feel compelled to relate my own contrasting experience: 1) Direct Drive 20 was delivered within 24 hours of the date promised by Jasmine at the time of order. Cost $589 2) Drive started up without any problems after connecting my Mac+ with the included cable. 3) One week of solid use and no crashes yet. 4) 9-10 megabytes of PD software included 5) Hard Disk Backup (FWB) bought from MacConnection worked flawlessly at full and incremental backups. Disclaimer: I have no connection to the aforementioned companies other than that of a satisfied customer. ~ Isaac S. Kohane

I heard this really great joke in a bar the other day, it was so
good I just had to repeat it here:
(This is fiction and is not meant to be connected with any actual
person, persons, or corporations, present or future. All characters are
imaginary creations of the person telling the joke. My employers are unaware
that this account is being used to post fictional jokles)
"Well, to anyone experiencing frustration with Jasmine - After calling and
calling and calling for months - I finally got a call back. (whether it was
the "nice" messages i left, the messages threatening to get a court order to
have them cease and desist selling products with non-existant warranty service
or calling sales and tieing up their lines until they'd take a message to
the warranty super. I don't know which did it, but I SPOKE TO A PERSON!!!!!!
she told me, as usual, ti would be 2 or 3 weeks, (from august) but she
mentioned the name of the Customer Service Manager - So, for all of you
frustrated people - you can lie to them and tell them you spoke to
"Mike McKenny"
and he said your stuff would be next fixed. Who knows - maybe it'll help.
And if any of you people at jasmine are reading this and are now
going to stick my stuff at the end of the line - UP YOURS. You must be
real hard up for a job to work for a place like that. I pity you."
This message has absolutely no connection with my employer, and they in no
way know that I am doing this. I do not in any way suggest you lie in any
communications with any computer peripheral vendors, nor do I mean to
implie that any one vendor may not be a truly superior service organization.
