RE: Cds

Or you can do like Linus Torvalds says, take your work, zip it up with good ol’ fashioned heavy encryption, rename the file “britneyspearstotallynekkid.mov” and upload on your preferred bittorrent/P2P network.  Then your backups are only as reliable as a 17 year old boy’s horniness.

tape sounds good. But tape sucks. I have a shelf full of 2" masters that are all goopy now.

Lay not up treasures where moth and rust doth corrupt etc.

Gold master DVDs and audio CDs are the closest thing we have to eternity right now... other than our imaginations.

Would that be Fred Lieberman?
