A couple of months ago I requested information concerning LaCie and their hard drives. I have since purchased a 40 Meg Quantum ZFP (zero footprint drive) from them. The two people I talked with on the phone were helpful and knowledgable. I mentioned the recent Silverlining survey to one of them and she was very interested in the results and what problems people had. From their answers to my questions, they both obviously knew what they were talking about. When I ordered the drive, they gave me a delivery time of 7 to 14 days, which was acceptable to me. It actually arrived in 6 days. I was allowed to order COD at no extra charge, which seemed like a good idea considering some people's experience with Jasmine. I have had no problems with either the drive or with Silverlining. The drive is reasonably quiet and very fast. I have not partitioned my drive (at 40 Megs there doesn't seem much point yet) but otherwise Silverlining is working fine. The drive also comes with a good collection of public domain and shareware programs, including virus detection software and other good file maintenance utilities. I have no other connection with LaCie than as a satisfied customer. Robert Miller rmiller@sbcs.sunysb.edu
