t is also my estimation that Vapor! will suffer serious product return levels and possible recall due to malfunctions in the field, and loss of data due to delicate moving parts inherent in mechanical disc drive design.

They said the same things every time a product was taken out of the
home or office and into the real world.

They said portable computers would be too delicate to be useful,
They said CD players were too delicate,
They said home use video cameras were too delicate,
They probably said the same thing about the first wrist watches.

In every instance they were wrong.

I believe technology will improve and the capacity of Vapor! disks
will keep doubling like the storage market has for decades.
I would not be surprised to see a 100MB Vapor! disk within 2 years.
