Tom, thanks for your thoughts. It looks like the density improvements can take care of additional storage demand without making an increase in component count necessary. You're absolutely right: more components per drive would cost much more than the components themselves. I bought a new PC with a 3.2 GB Fireball drive a year ago. I use about 1.2 GB of it. I'm probably a fairly typical home user, not storing lots of images, no games. In fact I resist installing additional software, because more often than not it brings grief (even though I'm fairly PC literate.) Looks like we'll just have to watch the stock charts to see what happens. <G> GM
