: Actually their were saying that the EZ media was unreliable, apparently : confusing product handling requirements with reliability. I move my : disk between work and home everyday and have never had a problem. However : I would not recommend this product to moronic klutzes with slippery : fingers. For some users, the difference could be important. I mail disks all the time. I like the fact that I can pop a Zip cartridge in the mail without worrying. I also like that I can read-write password protect the data while in transit. I'm sure I could send an EZ, but I suspect that at a minimum I'd need a layer of bubble wrap, and possibly a box with styraphome peanuts. -- Mitchell Schoenbrun --------- maschoen@netcom.com
