AUXILIARY BASE

I just put in an order for about two dozen CD-ROMs.  I’m going to need all the storage space I can get in order to keep an auxiliary base for my radio station logs.  We’re going to keep this back about three years, at least for now.  Probably since the time we were purchased by Bonneville Corporation.  All records before that seem to have disappeared, but I’m guessing they’re in the hands of the previous chief operating officer, who resigned once Bonneville took over the station.  In my opinion, it’s very important to have additional offsite data storage just in case anything should happen to the website for the radio station.  Since we’re in south Georgia, we’re prone to both tornadoes and hurricanes.  We’re very close by Savannah, which is by the ocean, so you can probably understand why this is so crucial.  A major storm could wipe out computer power here.  These compact discs are capable of holding hundreds of megabytes each, so there shouldn’t be any problem burning the data onto them.  It’s a lot of information regarding country music, advertising, and news broadcasts, including the up-to-date reporting on Hurricane Katrina in September, 2005.  There was one day that we devoted to reading the names of all the local volunteers who went down to Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi to help out.  So there’s a lot of data to be stored on these CD-ROMs.
