Another option to consider is a CD writer. They have come way down in price
lately. The discs are not rewritable, but they are much cheaper than SyQuest
cartridges, hold 650Meg, and anyone with a CD reader can read your disc. The
recipient would not also have to buy a SyQuest or Zip or whatever.

I wish my previous employer had this technology when we were sending soft
copies to a printer who was just sticking its toe into the ocean of
computers. You can't bungle around and erase a file from a CD-R disc and
claim it was never there. :-)

Just another suggestion,

Laurie
