Convert your data to CD ROM $60

[CDBACKUP]

Dear CD ROM drive owner,
My company's name is CD Archive. We are a company that produces
what we call one off’s. What that means is that we produce CD’s one
at a time. The reason why this might be of interest to you is that
right now we are offering internet users 10% discount off our
service.
What we do is take floppy disks and then covert them into CD’s.
This can be very helpful in many ways. It will save you the time of
looking for a disk, since all of your disks will be on the one CD.
(We have put as many as 750 disks on one CD.) It will last
essentially forever so you have not to worry about your data being
erased or destroyed because you spilled something or held it to close
to a speaker ect. If you want to share your data we can produce a
second identical CD for only $20.
Our prices are $95 for the first 150 disks and then twenty cents
per disk there after. We can put about 640 megabytes of information
on each disc. Many people do not “fill their disks to the brim,”
therefor most people can put more than 440 disks on one CD. We also
provide tape to CD conversions, our price for this service is only
$60 for one CD.
I thank you for your time and I hope that you will find this
service of interest to you. I also hope that this mailing has not
bothered you.
Please call 800-4FLOPPY (800-435-6779) for more information.

Hell, I'll burn CD's for $30 a pop.

If you will convert QIC tapes to cd rom for $30 I know a lot of
people who could use your service. At this point our price of $60
for converting up to 640MB of QIC tape seems to be about one-third of
the industry average. We provide our customers with a 100% money
back guarantee and we have a two day turn around time.

I think maybe when you mention $30 for burning a disc you are talking
burning a simple ISO image which we do for $20. I'm not exactly sure
what you mean!?

OK, Stanton, where do I send the floppies to? 30 dollars is a great deal.
Do you do off of QIC-40's also?

Hi, an ISO-9660 format disc is what I had in mind. I'm not sure
what your $60 service includes. I can take data on 4mm DAT (novaback
software), CD, or (ugh) floppy. There is a Colorado 250 lying around
but I think it may be broken. Anyone interested can email me
personally. Sounds like you have a better price, tho, at $20/disc.

Offhand I can not see how either of you can make a living doing it for those
prices. With blank media priced at $13+ and the hours it would take to
transfer files to a hard drive from floppy, your compensation would be a few
dollars per hour; and even less when equipment costs were included.

First of all we pay much less than $13 per RCD so that is one this.
The other is that we have 8 386s and two pentium machines and three
CDRs and 3 disk autoloaders all networked together so that we can
uload data onto Hard Drives (which cost more than the computers they
are in) One person (though usually two) can run the whole
operation. Everything is automated. The equipment costs are down
since most of our machines are 386s which can be gotten these days
for a song.

VOLUME, VOLUME, Volume!!! Most of our machines run all of the time
(24hrs) this keeps our turn times low and keeps the cash flow high.

We really specialize in floppy to CD conversion and I beleive we are
the only ones in the US that offer a good rate on this conversion.
This also keeps us busy since we have the market to ourselves as of
now.
