| 487527 | 2006-09-26 15:55:00 | Looks like there is a new flash drive for laptops (www.washingtonpost.com)...but I am wondering if these will migrate to desktops any time soon. I guess the real advantage isn't weight or power-use...but rather accessability and faster boot times. Is the advent of non-moving parts hdds a thing of the future? [I can open that link, but it might not work for youse guys...let me know and I'll c/p some of it...or try this: letters.washingtonpost.com |

| 487530 | 2006-09-26 21:53:00 | I like this bit: "Its shock rating is a whopping 1500G--it can withstand most shocks short of being fired out of a howitzer--far higher than a standard drive's 200G to 300G rating." |

| 487532 | 2006-09-27 02:39:00 | Just an addenda: Whatever happened to the "bubble-type" memory that was being developed by Apple years ago? I understand it was available on field carried computers and being evaluated by GI's for reliability. |
