I dunno, who would have ever thought that we would have 300 Gb Hard disks that we could hold in our hands? I can remember when it took 2 people to carry a 10 Mb disk drive. I know, I'm old.

Oh, I'm not doubting it'll happen. It just won't happen in time to supplant Blu-Ray and/or HD-DVD.
And doesn't flash memory have a limited number of read-write cycles? Not very useful for long-term storage and usage.
:'D Same boat. Chips for the good old Apple IIe were actually chips, 8 to get the rating (1/8th of 64K wasn't 8K, as far as the chips were concerned); the Apple DOS 3.3 storage limit is 400K (not 143K as has often been stated), which meant those 10 meg drives from Trustor and Sider and Quark (now a software company) were divided into 255 400K volumes, a bit unwieldy. ProDOS has a volume size limit of 32MB, which is, hmm, about one-fourth of what my digital camera has installed. ;'), and that was plenty roomy. (':
Whoever worked procurement for those guys should've forked out the extra cash for the optional wheels. ;-)
