8mm tape media

["Steve Glanstein" <mic@xxxxxxxxx>]

------------------------------

Gentlemen:

After a large business had to cancel their gig-meg last week due to a
broken 8mm tape, I have to agree.  Bye-bye to 8mm.

Real fun week-end: three chewed up tapes, one disk crash, one interface
check....but the client was up and running by Sunday PM...

By the way----if you backup for the purpose of moving drives and
restoring....get 2 backups (we did) BUT use a DIFFERENT TAPE MANUFACTURER!

Sign me--still getting older and wiser!

But Al! Certainly you are only experienced in dealing with one of the
above?! 

Colorful, Al, colorful.
