versus the two we have now.  Also consider the product we all
are using, Legato, which licenses based on number of slots of
tape storage (until you get to 512 or more - then you get an
unlimited license).

What are you talking about? My legato licenses are based on # of
(server) clients not tape slots.

The cost for a tape library enabler is contingent on the number of tape slots, but after something like 512 slots, the next tier up allows for an unlimited number of tape slots. Perhaps that's what you are thinking of.

I was rummaging through an old box at home the other day and
came across the first tape media I used - some old cassettes
from my high school days of Commodore PETs.  My, we have come
a long way. - Jim

Wow.. Don't make me go old school on you...

Commodore Vic-20/C-64/PET

Remember waiting for programs to load from cassette tapes?
Full functioning quicken like programs loading from a cartridge!

Geez! You guys with those cassette tapes had all the luck! I got stuck taking courses in assembly language and FORTRAN on punched cards and paper tape. Fortunately, i eventually found a way to use a "modern" crt to do my homework in a text editor and submit the jobs via batch, then punch the media in order to submit the assignment for a grade.
