Good thinking under the circumstances. The point, however, is that one
should not have to pay out $10 or more for a disk when he can legally
archive it for about 75 cents. You are, however, quite brilliant
though, Walt, because you've come upon the best solution I've heard yet,
though you may not have thought about it. Why doesn't HJ make the disk
archivable, but keep the actual keys locked. That way, they get their
protection, while we get to make an archive disk for transferring keys,
in case the original goes bad. The only drawback is that you would
likely have only one key off the disk at a time, so you could still lose
four. Nevertheless, that would be better than nothing, especially if
they would still replace lost keys when caused by disk failure.
