I never received any answer from the last time I posted this so I thought I'd try again. Has anybody had any experience (good or bad) with Ingenuity Inc's VCR backup that they can report on? TMPLee@dockmaster.ncsc.mil

I called Ingenuity a couple of weeks ago, and apparently the release date has been pushed back a couple of months more again. I had heard that their key programmer for this product left Ing. and formed Vitesse, Inc. I guess they have had trouble getting someone to fill his shoes. I just wish they would stop advertising as if it were available (and that mail order companies wouldn't list it until they had it. From what I've heard, it does a file backup, will handle all of GS/OS file types, and backs up 100 MB to a standard 2 hour tape.

Re: mail order companies listing the VCR backup before they have it...
Well, the ads are prepared 2 months in advance, usually, so the mail-order
company may strongly believe that a product will be in stock because of
promises from the manufacturer.
In Ingenuity's case, they made their dealers kind of mad by undercutting their
dealer's prices. Sort of a rude way of saying "hey, we don't need you
anymore, go away" and selling direct instead of through dealers.
Disclaimer: I work for Quality Computers. Take any comments about the
mail-order business in light of this fact.
