Carey - Looks like you sparked a trip down memory lane. I seem to recall Pong arriving in our area in the spring of '73, and it was soon followed by Tank (which now that I think about it wasn't much different from Pong). I'd always been a pinball fanatic, so I played those games about 3 or 4 times and gave up. I had to keep feeding quarters to the video games, while with pinball I could usually win enough free games to play for a long time and still have enough money left over to eat dinner. But I still think napster-style applications - just think of the demands if video file swapping comes about - could be the relief the disk drive makers need. With the option to upgrade from a 10 to a 40GB hard drive only about $150, I can't imagine going for a smaller drive just to save a few bucks.
