>>If they are using normal HDD and PCMCIA interface, I wonder why the capacity is so low. >> there's no question that completely solid state media such as flash are more durable overall than Clik! << Isn't Clik also a "solid state media".<< Andy - The PC Card (formerly PCMCIA) hard disks do not use a regular hard disk with a PC Card interface. They are completely self-contained devices the same length and width as a standard PC Card. They are the same height as two standard (Type II) PC cards, so they take up both slots of a dual PC Card setup. That is why they are referred to as Type III, and that's also why the capacity is so small. No, Clik is not solid state. It's a disk-based medium, as you know. Perhaps we have misunderstood one another. Also perhaps we'd better take this discussion off the thread, because the non-technoids are undoubtedly getting restless already. - Allen
