Yeah look Gary, I have a WD 730mb, processing 0-2mb of Fidonet mail and
0-10mb of Usenet news per day, as well as running my two line BBS, and it
just runs perfectly, no reliability problems at all.

It's just plain disgraceful! Goodness knows how they can sell crap like this.
And the 340mb I bought a few years ago, the 420mb I bought in January and
the 540mb I bought last Wednesday, all fine. I'm shocked that WD are still
in business. I hope you're not selling them.
