Rod, <<...'cuz they get loose 'n stuff>> It's more the "'n stuff" part. If tapes are so great, why did I just see an advertisement that read "Why do tapes fail 63% of the time." Why do you suppose DVD has a shot at replacing video tapes? Why did CD replace audio tapes? (Answering in the form of a question: Why do video tapes and audio tapes both degrade in quality the more they are used?) Part of it Rod, is that not only is the tape subject to stretching, but that the tape is dragged across the head, leaving part of itself on the head. That is why you have to clean audio and video heads every few hours. Same goes for computer tapes. When was the last time you purchased a $40,000.00 backup device for your home computer? Apples and oranges...
