RE: The way to go for reliability Andy and all, >Optical is the way to go for reliability. No, redundancy is the way to go for reliability. And nothing is a hundred per cent fail safe. This is from someone who has had one PC stolen out of his office (and survived that because of a full HD backup onto floppies, back in the days of 5 MB hard drives), who had one HD on his PC, one on his Zenith clamshell, and one on his wife's PC all fail, and has recovered from all of them because of backups onto Iomega Bernoullis, who now depends on Zip for backups on one machine and Jaz for backups on the other, and who always keeps one reasonably fresh backup off-site just in case of a fire or some similar catastrophe. All computer equipment fails eventually. It's a matter of when, not if. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
