“In 1974 I (Michael E. Thomas) was making 5 Megabyte disk packs - the biggest at that time in the world. At the same time, IBM, Burroughs, Honeywell, and other Computer professionals said no one would ever need that much storage,” says Michael. “In 1989 Bill Gates (the Chairman of Microsoft) said that the personal computer would never need more than 256 Kbytes of cache memory and 40 megabytes of hard drive storage. Today's PC has on average 64 megabytes of cache and 20 to 60 gigabyte hard drives. The need for new storage technology is evident to only to those having backgrounds in data storage.” ~Michael E. Thomas talking about his patent of non contact UV photon induced electric field poling of ferroelectric non-linear photonic bandgap crystals which according to him and this article will result in making storage discs that are this big:(and I quote) One 10 terabyte to 100 terabyte 3.5 in FEdisk would be EQUAL to a 10,000 to 100,000 Gigabyte disk drive. That's greater 1,000 times any State of the Art hard disk technology with 100 Gigabytes on one disk. 2 EXABYTES of NEW data is generated every year world wide, and growing. How many mp3 recordings could I make and play on that thing and never hear the first song? physorg.com of course there's also the article about the Tunguska Space Phenomenon is really an UFO crash on there too SO things should be read examined one or twice, questioned and ultimately held dear for one of those late night DID YOU KNOW BS sessions we all enjoy and love... NANO NANO.....out.
