I think what's ironic is that the 75GXP got a lot of publicity prior to all the failures because it was the biggest and fastest drive available for its time. I heard the reason for the failures is because IBM used cheap glass platters (instead of the metal or ceramic or whatever they normally use). I suppose that's the price you pay for being the first on your block to get something new and exciting. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
