Ok, I thought you meant ACTUAL tapes, which again is what most people would think reading what you put. If you'd said 'Tar files' it would have made more immediate sense to me, but still, to 99% of the population that would still have no meaning at all.
I don't see the point in arguing this with you, because it will just end up mirroring my experience every time I've tried to use Linux, an expectation that everybody already knows everything and will jump through any hoop to do anything.
I'd really rather that level of thinking didn't infect this project, which just about sums up this entire thread and my reasons for posting in it...
