Hello,
Anyone with experience of re-using "old" tapes?
Can we reuse physical 3590 Cartridges (High-Performance Model-B11) that have
been stored for ca. 6 Years in Computer Room condition?
Our (non-IBM) Engineer claims:
"Old tapes that have been left in storage can damage the Drive heads in our VTS"
True or False?
The tapes come from a VTS B18 Machine that was decommissioned due to ahem, the
collapse of Swissair…
They had been used for only ca. 2 years.
We have re-inserted ca. 30 cartriges, and had a handful of ejects so far.
Whilst I'm here, our 2 current VTS B18 models are now approaching their 10th
Birthday!!
I'll be buying them a new Wii console and some chocolate and ice-cream .-))
Seriously, can any shop beat 10 years of continual VTS B18 Operations?
Not a competition, just out of interest.
Thanks and good week to all,

2nd position is nowhere:
"After losing to Kamsky, Vassily Ivanchuk stormed out of the room, kicked a
concrete pillar several times and pounded a countertop in the cafeteria."
