Thank you everyone for your input. Lots to ponder over.
There are many here using tape.
I started using tape in the late 80's with those tapes that looked
like audio cassettes, and progressed with technology as it developed
and finally gave it up 5 years ago. Every single time a tape drive
would fail, the replacement drive would not read the media written
with the old drive. I also experienced many times tapes being
unreadable even by the same drive that wrote to it. The tapes would
decay just sitting on the shelf.
I have written off tape for life, excuse the pun! : )
My customers would certainly reject tape based on the fact there are
not visual cataloging options like Portfolio or iView MediaPro for
tape.
I am really optimistic about Blue-ray. If/when the prices of the
discs drops to under $10.00 per 25 gigs I may be jumping on that
train to who knows where!
