Quantum to Sell DLTtape Media Cartridges Over the Web
Well, I hope this is a start of a greater effort to sell over the web. Despite the fact that people think disk drives are too complicated to sell over the web, I think it's a mistake to not offer what seems like a no brainer offer to take people's money if they want to give it.
