I found it amazing that IBM can replace a disk drive without any downtime, 
(and often has on our site), but replacing a 1/4" tape drive required 
bringing the system down.  Gee, for some of you riding the fence on 
upgrading from 1/4" to external 3590's or whatever that might be a 
business argument for the external drive.
