Excellent link... even the naysayers admit that JB's technology is superior. It gives one more example of Bordynuik being able to accomplish what others cannot, and why many people also believe that P2O will work as described.

Reading that, I noticed that the guy was 'afraid' of even asking what the price would be. I understand his concern. Back when I was calling every top notch data recovery place I could, and asking them about recovering old computer tapes, I got price quotes anywhere from $900-$1400 for ONE TAPE. I imagine there would be a volume discount, but really. Data recovery is a very lucrative business apparently.

And when I asked them about the accuracy of the data recovered, they were never optimistic about getting 100% recovery.

SO.

1. NASA is getting a hell of a deal at $22/tape. Perhaps the low price is because John is addressing his social duty. And it only takes 15 minutes/tape anyway.

2. JBII is the only company that can read these tapes with 100% accuracy........z
