Maybe the people with Quantum drives who are not having problems with them
are the people who never turn them off?  I have a friend, who on recommendation
from someone else, bought 7 Quantum's (Fireballs and Lightning's) for 7
machines at his office... Within 9 months, each one of them had failed to
spin up if powered down... Towards the end, the machines had signs on them
that said "DO NOT POWER OFF".  Then later, while "someone else" was on an
extended vacation, there was a power-failure in his house which caused his
Quantum to spin down and it never spun back up... And I'm thinking "YES!
There IS a god!"

Myself, I'm a happy Fujitsu owner... But I'm hardly religious about it...
