- I believe that I remember that some kinds of files do not compress well, and
- that GIFs are among these. I believe that I also remember that the so-called
- 250MB tapes are really using compression to put 250MB of stuff on a 120MB
- tape, so you may not get nearly 250MB per tape.

- Anyone *know* about this?
