On a related note, what do you use to backup such beasties? Tapes in mammoth size reels, perhaps? :-)
Just curious.
A *BIG* pile of floppies! ;-)
X'-) O yea, I remember the backups I made years ago with pcbackup, on a machine with two floppies. It was so fast I barely had time to label the floppies: A, B, A, B, A... there was no need to even press keys, the change was detected. Around 80 floppies for... 40 Mb? In less than one hour. Some had autochangers... with a CDrom autochangers, big backups would be doable nowdays. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
