  • Maxell 300GB holographic disks in late 2006, 1.6TB by 2010 (For all you tech heads)

    Maxell reportedly pledged to bring out a 300GB optical holographic disk system late next year. Will this finally be the affordable high capacity backup system we have been waiting for? Apparently the drive will transfer at up to 20MB/sec - this means that 300GB data could be written in as little as 4 hours and ten minutes - however due to lead-in and other delays 5 hours is a more reasonable guess as to how long it will take to back up 300GB.

    A friend's cat appears to have eaten some reel to reel tape, said tape appears to be obstructing her digestive tract. Daisy, the cat, is now not eating, has been vomiting and is not drinking, and is lethargic. He, my friend, is taking Daisy to the vet this afternoon. Does anyone now if reel to reel tapes are toxic? Or if it breaks down in stomach acid to some horrific toxin? Also, Daisy is QUITE large. Has anyone out there ever had surgery on an overweight cat? And how did the cat fair? Thanks for any advice. I am glad...
