    Sounds great. Send me a tape drive and some media and I'll be happy to
    use it. Let's not forget that this is a service we provide for free that
    already has a fixed $1400/month cost not counting human costs. If you
    are volunteering to donate the hardware and the media that's great, we
    appreciate it.
