(the External staff wasn't so bad). I spend days at customers places trying to get this damn things to function correctly. No luck. The so called help the " authorized" distributor was supposed to give me, was worth nothing. We never again use anything from Iomega. Rubbish it is. Now for a much lesser cost, we fit a hard disc cradle in to the computer box. Then we use a removable hard disk. A 10GB hard disk costs me about $ Aus 190.- plus the cradle another 30 bucks (for a good quality cradle) .These are wholesale prices. For roughly 220 $ Aus, I have a very fast backup system. In the evening I just pull out the hard disk from my computer at work and take it home, where I can fit it in to the cradle in to my home machine. Regards, Horst Schmidt
