>David,
>Idea's for fool proof storage container? I have a lot of DVD's on board
>stored in zippered binders with each DVD having it's own page to store.
After discovering that most of the locations I was storing the disks in
weren't cutting it, I eventually moved them to those "wallets" also.
So far, so good. I think it's more where the wallets are stored that's
the issue and as long as they have the ability to gradually adapt to
the temperature changes (as opposed to radical changes) it works out
okay. I have the same problem with VERY expensive guitars onboard, it's
just much more painful with them :-)
>Sounds like we almost will need to vacuum seal the disks?
>Jeff
Sounds good except it would be a nightmare every time you wanted to
access one.
I'm getting close to throwing in the towel and just putting all of them
(the entertainment ones anyway) onto the hard drive and letting the
computer be the "entertainment system", instead of my diskman. The space
I gained by consolidating all those disks into the (BIG) wallets was
incredible and boy was I happy (even though trashing the cases was painful).
If course if this is the route taken, it behooves one to BACK UP, BACK UP,
BACK UP, unless you can afford to lose them (it'll never happen to me :-)
