You are getting old and crotchety real fast. Have a :beer:, puff good stuff, or whatever floats your boat, and chill;)

I, personally, think a post like this is a good idea!!!


I dunno about the rest of ATOT, but BACKUPS are a big deal for me.


Since we don't use film for stills or video anymore..........I backup & backup my backups!!

There's been plenty of talk about how long CD's will last us.......(pressed, burned, RW, etc.)........and it'll be nice to see what REAL WORLD tests will show us in the future.

(I still backup & transfer to multiple computers & hard drives, but who knows........maybe one good solar flare or EMP will render them all gone one day.....???)

I have a 8 1/2 yr old Plasmon CD-RW that still reads good with my current NEC-3550A. Burned with a HP SureStore 6020 ( CD-RW SCSI) 2X burner I bought for about $600 July 1997.

Viagra should fix that right up.
