Message-ID: <30@uw-june> Date: Thu, 31-Jan-85 17:43:58 EST Article-I.D.: uw-june.30 Posted: Thu Jan 31 17:43:58 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 2-Feb-85 11:03:22 EST Organization: U of Washington Computer Science Lines: 12 I recently found a "bargain" on PDMagnetics HG Chrome Beta L-750 tapes, for $4.99 - $1.00 rebate = !. I seem to remember hearing (in this newsgroup?) that this brand is not a good one, but at this price and my situation, I felt I should check it out before I dismiss them entirely. My situation is this: I will only record on the tapes once or twice in the next couple of years, and watch it on an irregular basis. Is it still unwise to consi- der using these tapes? Dare I entrust to them my Doctor Who archive? Thanks in advance, The Great Green Arkleseizure {decvax,ihnp4}!uw-beaver!uw-june!gordon Jamie Green gordon@uw-june.arpa
