Welcome to the LascoNet!
Lascon Storage was born from a conversation with my son in 1999. It went live in April 2000 and has slowly grown over the years into a site that offers hints, tips and opinions about data storage.Many people have written to me over the years to correct errors, provide more information and also encouragment to keep the site going. It seemed to be a good idea to let you all express your own opinions about the storage industry, and so the LascoNet was born in August 2008.
Thanks for all your support
Jim
