	Last I rumor I heard (from some competitors so take this with a grain 
of salt) was that Golden Triangle was having problems achieving compatibility 
with various disk utilities like Norton and was unlikely to meet the
predicted ship date.  Thus even if Times Two had NO risk of corrupting your 
data (something I seriously doubt) it did make the chance of recovery of data 
much worse if something else went wrong.
