Over in the Amiga newsgroups there hasn't been anybody thinking that Syquests were in any way shape or form bad. In fact, people kinda like 'em .. Changing disks isn't a bother anymore since drivers are out which do the "diskchange" stuff automatically from hard disk as well as floppy .. Personally I don't see why people wanna use 'em for backups. They run ya $2/meg for the cartridges and tapes run $.20/meg. Simple economics if'n ya ask me ;-) -- <- David Herron, an MMDF & WIN/MHS guy, <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <- <- Remember: On System V it's "tar xovf", not "tar xvf"!
