Not the brightest individual I've ever dealt with. The phone rings, I give my little opening speel. He says:
"Yeah, hi. Uh, I'm wondering about backups. I have a 20GB Hard Drive, and I was wondering how I should go about backing it up."
"Okay, what were you thinking of using to back up your data?"
"I was thinking of using disks. How many would I need for all my data?"
"How much and what kind of media are you backing up?"
"About 1 GB."
"I think disks would be somewhat inefficient, sir."
"Really? What do you recommend then?"
"Do you have a CD Burner, also referred to as a CD-R/W drive?"
"Yeah, but can't those only make audio CDs?"
"No sir, you can put data on them. Do you have a CD Burning program?"
"Yeah."
"Put everything you want to back up into one folder, and burn it all on probably two CDs."
"Okay, thanks!"
"No problem, sir. Have a good day."
