+
+ to cassettes used for music. A tape is serial in nature, which
+ means that in order to get to any given part of it, you first have
+ to go through all the parts in between. A disk can be accessed
+ randomly, i.e., you can jump directly to any place on the disk.
+ The serial access of tapes makes them slow.</P
+><P
+>On the other hand, tapes are relatively cheap to make,
+ since they do not need to be fast. They can also easily be made
+ quite long, and can therefore contain a large amount of data.
+ This makes tapes very suitable for things like archiving and
+ backups, which do not require large speeds, but benefit from
+ low costs and large storage capacities.</P
