B-b-but... if I do that with the eight tapes I have now... won't it get
a little wonky at some point?
I'm not sure how long it'll take for me to get more tapes... they do
things in a weird way around here. And they're talking about getting a
new drive that's the same make/model as what they have on the Windows
network, so they may balk at paying $70 each for tapes that may be junk
in a few weeks.
I want to make the most efficient use of the tapes I have until I know
what's going on... :-)
