The binders seem to take up less space, and store on a bookshelf easily. It's easier to get to any of the individual disks that way too ... the spindle enclosures mean a lot more handling to get to any random disk (that's how the dust and grit get in there...).
Godfrey ======= Yeah. I, so far, I stick them in separate jewel cases. In spindles they are laying on top of each other. Weight, etc. Might speed degradation. Though, unmoved, yes, probably not much of a problem. But it makes it a bit hard to get to a specific one without a lot of handling. Fingers are oily. Of course, I guess one could get thin latex gloves. :-) Probably depends how paranoid one is. I like the binder idea. Going to look for one. Thx. Marnie aka Doe
