	I've been mulling over the thought of the SyJet 1.5 GB removable.
PC/Computing rated it higher than the Jaz--faster, higher capacity, cheaper
per MB.  But of course, somewhat less popular than the Jaz.  

	I was wondering if anyone had any comments regarding the
durability/reliability of the SyJet media vs. Jaz (SyQuest says the SyJet
media has a 20-year shelf life--pretty darn good, bested only by more
expensive Magneto-Optical solutions and of course, burning CD-ROMs).
