I don't take the money side of hardware very lightly, I'm always working with hardware vendors to keep prices in-line with market restraints. But, there are real costs involved with a good, workable hardware solution, and they must be factored in when generating a solid business. Corporations are *people* in the legal sense and are comprised of the same. All of us work with and within budgets, we're no different. Rendering is an expensive operation in terms of CPU cycles and time. Avoiding re-rendering has popped up as an important issue to us and mass storage, in digital format (on disk) or analog (on tape) are both viable options. The analog solution requires an investment in tape editing equipment and the digital in disk storage hardware.
