(...) I prefer the Hefty One-Zip freezer strength bags. The Ziploc Slide-Loc bags are not as good in my book as the slider slides off the end of the track much too easily. I prefer freezer weight because it is much more resistant to tears. I do wish (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.storage)

Frank, (...) [snip] Thanks first for the quick answer and then for the clarification. I was looking at Jeff Stembel's post and that style of classification seems very reasonable. I'll try to use it with my collection. Best regards for you! -- Felipe (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.storage)
