I'm going to try to make this not just a 'Me Too'.


I've only had two libraries, but the 3494 was here when I started messing with
ADSM in '97.  I've just added some 3592 drives to it, which will take me well
into the next generation of tape tech.

Upgrade path, reliability, flexibility, featureset.  Try really hard to
convince the folks that you're going to -save- money in the 3-year timeframe,
and will absolutely rake it in on the 7-year.
