The Shadow Year One

I really don't mind. Actually I was going to go looking for them later on Usenet. Again, you saved me the trouble. I have been playing with my new toy that came today. It is a Digistor BluRay Burner. It works like a top. I have been looking for some way to archive this stuff other than quite expensive 8.5 gig DVDRDD disks. I read that BluRay 25 Gig disks were actually cheaper by a little and they are guaranteed for life by Digistor who make the disks too because they don't use plant dyes and that is what fails and the disks die. I am trying it. A few months back I tried what people say is the best way is to fill Hard Drives and put them on the shelf or in a Drawer. Wrong, I read a few days ago that you have to take them out at least every 2 months and put data on and off them. If you don't, again the organic lubricants dry up and the spindle freezes. I took down the 2 drives I had stored with info on them and one out of 2 wouldn't spin at all. The other one was sluggish and lasted long enough for me to get about half the data off it. All in all I lost about a terabyte of audio. I have found some of it, for once senility worked in my favor because I forgot to delete them from the working drives on the computer. So it turned out I only lost about 750 gig but that was a big hit to my collection. I don't know why I listen to the net. Disks have always worked for me so far anyways. Live and learn. --------------------------------------------- R

  OK that's a worry. I have been backing up my stuff to an external drive and also to disc (first CD and then DVD). I guess nothing is perfect (or permanent) in this world.

  Glad to help out. I saw the comics on avaxho.me while getting some Punisher comics for my
  son-in-law.
