Hi WAMUG'ers, Sorry to hear about people experiencing the 'click of death' from Iomega Zip drives. On the other hand I have been using very extensively Iomega Zip drives, in fact I own 3 of them and used another 3 at my previous work for many years (about 10 years now), without any problems. My original SCSI Zip is still working on my old Performa 5400, and before that it was used on my original Classic. Yes, that was many years ago.
I guess that failures do happen and with data, just like with money, never put it in the same basket! Hence the importance of always backing up your data on different media, and also keeping a copy 'off shore'.
