Recently IOMega lost a class action suit by users of ZIP drives.

The click of death has been around since the very beginning days
of the zip drive.  To my knowledge, IOMega never acknowledged the
problem and provided NO support for the products.  This lack of
support by IOMega forced users to sue the company.

That kind of behavior figures prominently in my buying decisions.
