You think? 20G tape is "too small to bother with", 110G is "last generation", and pretty soon you'll be measuring cartridges in terabytes instead of gigabytes. How will they do it? Heck if I know, but even if flexible media trails rigid media in the density curve tape's got a whole lot of surface area to waste. -- I've seen things you people can't imagine. Chimneysweeps on fire over the roofs of London. I've watched kite-strings glitter in the sun at Hyde Park Gate. All these things will be lost in time, like chalk-paintings in the rain. `-_-' Time for your nap. | Peter da Silva | Har du kramat din varg, idag? 'U` |

(Hitachi or Sony just got a bunch of patents on new laser technique that will allow increased capacity.) Guess I'll keep the VXA till then. Tape has been dead since 1969. I'm not worried. Rob |
