Y'know..... with all the stories about dying Hard drives, I still hear about, Gods know how many, people who do not archive on CDROM. For heaven's sake, they're cheap enough... as cheap as floppys got, toward the end. Even the DVD-ROMs are getting dirt cheap.... the write 'ware is still "kinky" though... lost months of work to one. One thing I haven't heard anything about, lately, is the crystal storage they're working on.... they have it working, just too expensive for high end... you can get one..... it's 100,000 USD to get one, though... the capacity, last I heard, was so high that it was a deal of spending several lifetimes using up a significant amount of space on it.......... Imagine trying to organise files and folders on that  :scared:  Lou.
