Something seems to happen to people's understanding of this when they set up machines in their homes.

When the inevitable happens, as you found out, life without a tape drive is hell. Now, I understand that finding a way to back up your 200 Gb home MP3 collection can be painful, but if you have systems and data that are important to you, get that data backed up *somewhere*. -Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
