I looked at Conner's Web page last night, and saw that they own
Arcada.

Dealing with Conner is as grim an experience as you can get. They seem
to have absolutely no regard for the data that their customers are
trying to save. They just don't care! They are not honest people.

These people are obviously a bunch of guys in suits selling vaporware
for as much money as they can get. They've ripped me off for almost
$900 in tapes and a drive that do nothing. Is that any different than
if someone would have held me up and taken $900 out of my wallet? I
don't think so, except that I have a pile of useless stuff that never
worked.

It's obviously a big mistake to believe what you read in advertising
or on a box. Conner just out and out lies.

Good luck... Mike
