[edit] 4 = 3.8?

Anyone know why the Four millimeter tape is only 3.8 millimeters? —Jfingers88 23:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I got the spec from the Digital Data Storage page. —Austin Murphy 21:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

In 1972 there were a few systems that used a 0.150" tape cartridge, 3M/Scotch DC-150A. DECtapeII, HP85, and maybe others. http://www.athana.com/html/minicart.html —Austin Murphy 20:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First library?

First library??? IBM Tractor Tape —Austin Murphy 15:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change the layout a bit?

Anybody mind if I play with the layout, maybe change the header to use {{tnavbar}} so it can be hidden, and edited easily? Like {{IT giants}} —Wikibarista 09:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

That's a good idea. -- Austin Murphy 14:20, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
