Sun Managers,

Original Question:

        Most popular and practical means by which Sun and Third parties
offer software to Sun managers. Which is best QIC Tape, CD or Floppy.

General Consensus:

        Overwhelmingly, everyone agreed that CD was the media of the
future, and also the media required now in all Sun installations. Most
third parties also offer software on QIC. Most of your locations have QIC
Tape but it looks like it's on the decline. Floppy is good to have since
some vendors ship low volume stuff like drivers etc.. on floppy. Yes of
course I knew the answer would be "you need all three", but I really
needed a feel for QIC vs CD.

Thanks much,
Jeff Hine
