The first generation drive has a capacity of 300GB on a single disk with a 20Mbps transfer rate.

Less than 1/20th the transfer rate of USB 2. Not too quick, but could be useful for archival storage.

Yeah--I was just thinking about the mini-DVDRW discs I saw at Wal-Mart the other day. The same size as a MiniCD, but it holds 1.4GB. Now if you put this technology into a disk that dize, it would be super cool.

This is just what Uncle Sam is looking for. A nice slow system that won't stress federal workers and it is capable of storing every move the citizens made in their lifetime.

In 1951 you bought a Remington .22 single shot rifle. You are hereby required to register that weapon within 24 hours or you will be assessed a $500 fine.

This fine will recur annually or until the weapon is surrendered to the local authorities. This money will be deducted from your employment check and deposited in the United Nations World Firearm Registry Program.
