For _that_ I just burn the iso/udf image out to a DVD+RW ;)

Same where I work. We're outgrowing the AIT-2 drives used for
backups so the paperwork has been submitted to move up to AIT-3
drives. DLTs and I don't agree with each other (besides they
remind me too much of the TK50 with which they share a form factor
:))

Nor do I (well, a couple of 'em are PDP-11s so video encoding
is, uh, just slightly out of the question :)).
I'm more accustomed to talking to folks who are pinching every
penny when it comes to computer equipment - it's quite refreshing
to find someone that's not looking for the absolute cheapest
system/equipment.
ANYTHING can be justified as a hobby of course. As you mention,
some go for boombox cars while others go for computers. But why
limit yourself to mere dual Athlons? Being a hobby a quad or
eight way system should be on the list of things to get :)

Haven't tried SATA yet. Primarily because I've stocked up the
older parallel versions (with rebates the drives were almost being
given away) and partially because I wasn't sure if new(er) drivers
in the kernel would be required to support the SATA adaptors.
Oh, and some of the drives I picked up came with UDMA133 adaptors
so I have more of those than I'll need for a while (or have
slots to put 'em in :))
