	I've been reading about this all morning.  Interesting.

	Luckily, my drive is an older, SCSI model, so I don't think I'll
be visited by this problem, but I should probably still make a point of
making backups to a different media.

	I had already resolved to not by iomega again because their
media is too expensive.  I knew this before, but bought from them anyway
because they were the people who jump started the removable mass storage
market, and I felt like I should support them.

	I'll next be getting either an LS-120, or something bigger, if
it exists.

Thanks,
