re: flash v. firewire--The advantage of flash, which people sometimes ignore, is NO MOVING PARTS. That means a lot when you consider things like reliability and ruggedness. People who are security minded about their digital files will be willing to pay a little extra for those features.

And flash prices keep dropping. Let's see, if I recall correctly, I paid almost $700 for a 10 mb hard drive back about 15 years ago. Hey, flash is cheap!
