Exabyte has done a big disservice to small computers networks with
moderate amounts of diskspace.

I have 2 Exabyte 8700LT 8mm drives (8500 in disguise), and I can squeeze
10 gigs per tape on these. And the tapes are about $6. But exabyte doesn't
make these any more, just the Mammoth drives with $100 tapes. That's 4 times
the capacity of my drives at almost 17 times the price for media.
