Keep in mind that this is essentially version 1.00 of this product.
Compared to other "brand-new" technologies released in last couple
of years, and their corresponding early problems (the Pentium and its
heat problems, CD-ROM burners and their habits of destroying blank
CD's, laptop mice that were fragile & bulky, etc.), the lack of
problem reports isn't just impressive, it's amazing.

With the obviously rushed schedule, one has to wonder if SyQuest
will be able to produce the same spotless record.
