This points up to a common misunderstanding among vendors, I think.  I
question the use of QIC for *archival* storage; it certainly was less
expensive than other comparably-sized media to deploy.

For *distribution*, where the cart is essentially a short-term affair
(until it can be copied to archival storage), it does make sense.
