One "backup" and one play disk. Then if your disk ever went bad you could switch to the backup and immediately send off the play disk to get it fixed. The only danger being that the backup may fail before the play disk was returned. Of course some folks would treat this like a 2 for 1 deal but they might anyway. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
