-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Okey dokey. The media may be RWed 1000+ times. The hardware (Imation's anyway) has a MTBF of 30,000 with a 25% use cycle. So doing the math that's ~312 days of 24/7 operation. Or, actually more since you would have to stop for eject/inserts ;-) So how long does it take you to W a RW media? I can't even remember the last time I even used a RW media though my drive will write to those. Joshua Jore Minneapolis Ward 3, precinct 10 On Mon, 29 Oct 2001, Joshua b.
