The Disciple was stolen from Bruce , and he never got any money from them this is why the PlusD can about. As for advocating Copying Tape to Disk , this was not the case as it stated that it was for BACKING UP you current Tape software to Disk. And should not be used as a COPYING DEVICE What Hypocrisy is that, did i miss anything :) Chris
