  1. Why not tape drives? on Bulk Data Storage For The Common Man? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Look at what the rest of the corporate world uses for large scale storage management. It is still ruled by Tape drives.

    I don't know how much an eye goes for at the moment, but if you can spring for a Super DLT drive you'll get up 320GB (Compressed) for each tape.

    It all comes down to the Quality:Cost:Time triangle.

    Good mice without a wheel are impossible to find these days - no matter what your resources.

    We need good quality 3 button mice for TAAATS (The Advanced Australian Air Traffic System). The middle button is a generic "cancel" function so it is used by the air traffic controllers very often. We've had to implement wheel-mice because it was impossible to find a suitable, non-wheel replacement. The controllers (who have been clocked at 60+ clicks per minute) hate them, as the middle "wheel buttons" are terrible.
