I'm flat-out of reasonable options with the DATs that I've been using (you know, the old "data grows" problem) and I've got the fun problem of either finding a solution to this via the ADR drives or returning it and going with DLT (about 4x the price). -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@denninger.net) Web: fathers.denninger.net I ain't even *authorized* to speak for anyone other than myself, so give up now on trying to associate my words with any particular organization.
