1. Drive compression is not a problem if you're well backed up. I've used it
for years, and haven't actually had any serious problems; but restoring 
from backup solved the few hiccups. The price of hard discs and writable 
CD-ROMs has come down to a level where you can have as much uncompressed 
storage as you want, and move all the archival stuff onto CD, anyway.

2. I completely disagree. You want to be backed up so as not to lose more 
than a day's work in the worst case; less if possible. When working on 
really critical files back up to floppy every hour.

By the way, I claim to be a lot better at selective quoting of previous 
postings than you are, based on this and other postings of yours!

Best wishes,
