so what is the deal with maxtor's bad reputation ???

[Mike Tomlinson]

Funny. Then why do I have two dead ones in a case where neither before
nor afterwards any other drives died? And why did the one I used at
work die?

Um, Arno, you may want to recalibrate your satire detector.

Right, only the multi failures guys post here repeatedly. Did your
mama's dog have one go bad too?

Any given drive may fail in the field. In general the Deskstar 75GXP
works very well and is quiet and reliable.

Hello, Chris:

Oh, c'mon, your "Ron Reaugh" impression is wearing a bit thin. ;-)

Speaking of whom, Ron hasn't made a Usenet post, since 9-28-05. After so
much activity, starting in 1996 (i.e., 47,404 articles, listed on his
Google Groups "profile," or 70,500 of them, using a regular GG search),
has he finally ground to a halt? <g>


Cordially,

He is now an australian immigrant.

Yup, that's what happens when that urge to babble overtakes you.
