steve_ancell	First there was tape, then floppy-d, then CD, then DVD... Now possibly to be replaced by MHD, but at what cost I wonder ? I would wait for the rich to drive down the cost first ! news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8021012.stm

JL235	As they say in the article, this is initially aimed at archiving. If you have data that is measured in terrabytes rather then gigabytes, then this is one solution on how to back it up. I'm not sure if it's the same or an alternative holographic disc, but I heard of one a few years ago which I believed is either on the market today or about to be. The discs cost as much as $100, however per gigabyte it's storage is cheaper then conventional DVDs.

spinal	I would take years anyway (before they reach the market) look how long it took to get hi-def tv after japan, who are now watching even higher definition. 10 years maybe before we see super-hi-def-3d movies, they'll want to saturate the market with blue-ray first before even considering selling a movie on one of these. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

CodersRule	My dad has a hard drive full of music that has 92 backup DVDs... Maybe I shall recommend.
