When will enough be enough Faster, smaller, cheaper. We'll never get enough. How many times have we heard "no one needs (or will use) this much power/space/speed/etc." Yet technology marches on. A little over 20 years ago, I built a home-brew system with a cassette interface to store the data and programs. When floppies came out, I remember thinking that no one would ever need them <G - LOL>. That was the last time I underestimated the need for newer, smaller, and better. Not that I didn't wonder what the hell someone was going to do with 10M (or was it 5M) of disk space when the IBM XT hard drive was introduced a number of years later. Just looking at a Seagate SCSI 181.6 GB Hard Drive w 16MB cache for $1837 Incidentally, you can do a lot better per MB. At Fry's the other day, I saw a 60M drive (EIDE) for roughly $150. That's $.000003/MB
