Good news for high volume data backup
PossumTrot wrote: "Shawn Hirn" wrote in message ... Hmm. You might be right, but considering that HD DVD has some powerful supporters, don't knock it out yet. I also am not sure optical disks would make good backup media only because writing to them would be a heck of a lot slower than mechanical disk drives or solid state devices. I too assumed that the recent announcement that Warner had chosen BluRay might mean the end of HD-DVD, but an article today says that consumers have bought about 60% more HD-DVD machines than BluRay (something like 500,000+ to 300,000+). One of the reasons for those numbers may be that WalMart sells HD-DVD machines exclusively. "For my part, my images are not worth backing up." Who do you suppose said that? Or should have? OT: Wasn't that long ago I saw a possum trotting. By the time I got my camera, he was in a tree, hissing like a pointy-face cat. My little companion animal, ET the Xoloitzquintli, did hold a skunk at bay long enough that I could whip out my CP995: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/28/48...258b7404_o.jpg -- Frank ess |
