It's good to hear perspective on these drives after they have been out in the
field for a good amount of time.  When I first learned that Sony had gone
with helical scan technology for AIT, I could not help but cringe, given
the infamous problems of 8mm helical scan technology.  We'll see if Sony can
improve things, but I'm skeptical.  For the sake of all the customers with
AIT, I hope things do improve.
