Hi Larry, I don't know when the recordable DVD's will come out. But I am sure they will be more expensive than the standard DVD. To provide a service to people on the internet, to put their data on a CD or DVD and mail it to them for a reasonable price seems to me, to be a market that will be growing. I think it is a couple hundred dollars to buy a recordable CD player. If they could put your data on a CD for $15 I think there could be a big market. The point of bringing this up, is server farms will be connected by high speed connections. So if companies like Kodak provided this service the data could move to their facility where, for example 400 MB could be put on a CD quickly. Since not many people right now store their data online, it is a new concept to most people. Since Internet Server farms could provide a huge market for Fibre Channel switches, I just thought I would throw it out there as speculation about how SAN server farms might evolve on the internet. JW
