Hi Nic, I don't own the K company and I never have (plus Ancor is my number 1 holding by a large magnitude). It was obviously a bad example to mention. I appreciate the feedback. I guess if people really believed the storage farm would be totally safe on a long term basis to hold their data (and the cost was low enough), they wouldn't need a back up mailed to them occaisionaly on a permanent low cost disk (to ease their mind). DVD holds 4 GB? That would equal a lot of zip disks. Sorry to bring up an idea like this at this time. In the future, if you had a DSL or Cable modem in your house, maybe a recordable CD/DVD player, with multi disk capability that hooks onto the internet will be a cheaper more convenient solution than offloading your storage to a server farm (then hope you don't get burglarized and lose all of your data). I am obviously no expert on this, just curious about the direction that technology will develop.
