There was a statement or two made about the superiority of the DLT 
technology, mainly because of the lack of contact between the tape and the 
read/write heads.  

Is this statement equally valid regarding LTO technology?

Is there any feature of LTO technology that may make it a better solution 
than DLT (other than tape capacity) ?  
I realise that question is a little open-ended, but I'm still trying to learn 
about this stuff and the web sites of the manufacturers of this gear seem to 
assume you already know all about the technology.  :-(
