Well, you obviously don't know me, my company, or several of my friends......

Don't get me wrong, they're OK, just far from perfect.  I've had particularly 
bad luck with an older lot of 350 meggers.  Four of four failed.  Warranty 
seems to be universally 1 year, while others go as long as 5.


And remember, their "deskstar" line of IDEs is widely and fondly know as the 
"deathstar" line.  Deducing the reason why is left as an exercise for the 
reader.....
