Full ACK! Unfortunately I suspect that the successor will have also drawbacks. For audio I used DAT a long time. For data it's named different, but it's the same hardware. I used data tapes instead of audio tapes, since the GEMA mafia makes empty audio tapes 6* more expensive in Germany. The issue with DAT is, that the consumer drives don't last very long. Some days ago I visited a friend and noticed that he still has got a shelf with Syquest Cartridges. Btw. I dropped CDRAM a long time ago, but for unimportant data CD and DVD are still my favorites compared to e.g. an USB-stick. My PC hasn't got a floppy disk drive anymore. Today we need those optical media :(. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
