Quote of the Day

"And it's awful, because you don't know if it's just you, if you're doing something wrong... everyone else seems perfectly happy. Everyone else is in bed with Exabyte and thinks they're the coolest thing ever, but you're getting shafted. It's like being at a Republican convention for god's sake!" -- my co-worker J, on the 50% failure rate we've had with Exabyte products

What are Exabyte products, if I might ask? :)

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

Tape drives and tapes, for automated backups of server data. www.exabyte.com

Gah. Exabyte blows.

No doubt. Found yet ANOTHER hosed tape drive today. I'm getting pretty good at replacing them. :-\

Back when I worked on PDP-11s, they were pretty complicated buggers, too. I don't recall them failing all that often... but they did seem to have their share of problems.
