407512 2005-11-25 22:01:00 Thanks Vince. Interesting.

With Blu Ray and HD-DVD battling it out, it would be a laugh if this new holographic technology trumps them both.

407513 2005-11-26 00:30:00 So you can use your new 300GB optical drive to back up your 600 GB hard disk. Then, in line with what we know now about the long term reliability of CDs (and probably DVDs) what are you going to use to back up the 300 GB opticals? :D Graham L (2)

That was a year ago and I have heard nothing since.

I just Googled it and found nothing that suggests we will see it any time soon.
