Hmm, suddenly the wheels are churning away on my tape backup options.
Holy smokes!   I've got a closet with a bunch of 8mm - 160m tapes.  (Qty of
10 I think? From Sprint of course.)   I found a few good deals on backup
drives on Ebay -- but will still have to hold out until I can figure out
exactly what I need.  I've got a Colorado-350 and Colorado-T1000 sitting
around doing nothing.  So far I've been backing up to CD-RW on another
computer and then burning a CD-R every so often for a good thorough backup.   

Thanks for the suggestions!
