Considering that harddrives are dirt cheap these days...it's hardly the place to skimp on. Local storage cost very little but makes everything 100 times easier...but apparently it'll be optional along with removable storage like Zip etc. It all sounds very strange to me.


Eric, that the NC does not have a hard drive is the whole freaking point, if I may be so blunt. If it did then it would be something akin to Microsofts NetPC concept. And as you stated, it makes things 100 times easier to have local storage. This illustrates the change of paradigm that needs to take place before the NC can thrive.
