multitudes:
> 
> I LOVE our ADIC Scalar 1000.
> 
> 1000 does mean 1000 tapes, but it will hold more than that.
> your first purchase will hold something like 8 DLT drives
> and 225 tapes ( I am sure my numbers are wrong ) but I can
> grow it to 24 drives and 950 or so tapes, without buying 
> another Robot.  just empty cabinets with slots (and drives if I want)
> 
> Check out ADIC, their service has been superior, their product was
> much cheaper, long term and short term, growth is very affordable,
> and it's drive independent.
> 
> We went with AIT, which DOUBLED our possible drive capacity 
> and increased our tape count by 1/3 or so.
> 
> It's well worth looking to.
> 
> Enjoy
