Yeah, rub it in will you, John...  He who dies with the most toys wins 
eh?

But you'll note that he's still dead...  I can say that as I'm 
probably 3x your age & more aware of my mortality. :)

I've not seen any DL media at Staples or Circuit City around here yet, 
we're sort of "out in the toulies" for some of these toys. :(

The thing that really refried my beans was the price of dvd-+r/w 
disks.  I paid $65 for a spindle of 25 back then, and they have since 
simply disappeared from the shelves, what I can buy today is write 
once only, anyplace I go.  Those are fairly cheap, but not at 2 a 
day, everyday.  I was going to setup about 50 of the rewritables for 
amanda's use here.  But wound up getting a 200GB drive instead after 
I got tired of DDS2 changer/drives lasting about 2 weeks.  And its 
turning out to be too small & I've had to curtail the depth of the 
backups to 2 cycles only. :(
