I work with digital images on an increasingly frequent basis, and have been trying to find a convenient, cost-effective, stable method of storing them. Tape can be rather slow, and not terribly stable, but is quite cheap.
We have found another group here on campus who is willing to archive up to 600 MB on a CD-ROM that will be both DOS/MAC compatible for $125. Does this sound like a good deal?
TIA,
