Daniel McKinnon asks:
 
>(Does anyone want to buy a Jasmine DirectDrive 45? For about $550?)
 
 
 
No thanks.  I can get sturdier doorstops for much less $$$.  8-) 
Seriously, I finally talked Jasmine into trading me my on-death's-doorstep 
DD45, which was only a year old but in which the HDA was only a few months 
old (can you say, three HDA swaps in one year?), for a brand spanking new
DD40.  Yeah, I lost about three megabytes of storage space in the swap. 
Also, the DD45 I bought cost $799, while a new DD40 only costs $699 ($599
during Jasmania! until the end of the year), so I feel I lost some money
on the deal.  On the bright side, they gave me a brand spanking new 2 year 
warranty to go with the new DD40.  So in the end, I will have had three
years of warrantied service on a Jasmine drive, with only some semi-minor
annoyances.  Well, not-so-semi-minor.  Anyway, anyone thinking about
buying Jasmine, be sure to ask friends about recent service dealings. 
When I bought my drive, and it went out the first time in two months,
their service dept. was EXCELLENT.  This was 9/88.  Since then, they've
gone way downhill.  I think they're on their way back up, but beware.  Let 
someone else find out how their service dept. is doing currently.
