That's a reasonable decision if you can afford to write the lot off. If you can't, tape -- yes, really, tape -- and a safety deposit box are probably your best bet. (Tape lasts when it's just sitting there; DVDs you can burn in the drive don't.) > If I were making a living selling stock, I might think differently; > but this is just a hobby. I consider it a hobby, too, but I take backups fairly seriously; I've got a significant chunk of my brain in computer files. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
