RE: [APML] OT: External Hard Drives for Archiving data

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@zoominternet.net>]

Hello Rob,
Thanks for the heads-up.  I am currently in a storage/backup bind.  I
will probably look into this option.  I am having some USB
inconsistencies with the Windows 2000, though.  Is there data on what
storage medium is the most reliable long term?  Thanks.
