WHY???  What is this incredible lemming-like following of Adaptec?  I
just don't get it.  Your NCR 810 is cheaper and just as fast.  What is
the great extra benefit you will get by dumping a bunch of money in
Adaptec's pockets?

I've never seen such a fierce brand loyalty for no apparent reason.

Is there really something so incredibly better about Adaptec that I'm
missing?
