Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- ( Reduced to living off the trash? ) ( ... my thanks to Tim ... ) Timmy Kroesen ("Net-Trash") wrote: Timmy, what do you think, isn't this a FRAUD? ======================= From: Mike Richter (Acraptec Shill) Subject: A note on Take Two Date: 9/1/99 For Take Two to work ideally, your drive must support packet writing and you must have DCD installed...to do it. ======================= ========================================== Mike Richter on Packet Writing Format (xi) ========================================== "the fault is not with the software but with the format" ===================== From: Mike Richter (Roxio Shill) Subject: Packet Writing Program Recommendations Date: 10/23/01 I do not recommend writing fixed-length packets because the format is unreliable in practice.

You may back up ... to a DCD-formatted erasable. ======================= =========================================== Mike Richter on Packet Writing Format (xii) =========================================== "the fault is not with the software but with the format" ===================== From: Mike Richter (cRoxio Shill) Date: 11/9/02 Yes, overwriting will work on a fixed-length packet disc until it fails. However, that's likely to be sooner than you would wish and the approach is at best foolish. Writing 50 MB of data and ~13 MB session space means about ten sessions on a disc. If you splurge fifty cents on a quality blank, you are wasting - absolutely throwing away to no purpose at all - a nickel's worth on each. Hey, what difference does it make if the erasable goes bad unexpectedly and all your data are lost? You've saved a nickel a day. That's certainly worth more than those files, right? Bottom line: what you "know" ain't so. It's advertising hype having no relationship to the experience of those who have tried using fixed-length packets. ===================== Timmy, did the "format" -- the scam artist's slimy euphemism for the UDF STANDARD -- change for the worse between (9/1/99) and (11/9/02)? ------------------------------------------------------- Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio-Adaptec? ------------------------------------------------------- |
