That must have been before hard drives became much more reliable (and the "Park" program wasn't needed). :D

Looking over at our tape "boneyard", I can't agree that tape is [now] more reliable. Since they may have student or employee info on them, we have to destroy them. At least it's easier to destroy tape than hard drives. :D
