Hi wily; Sorry, I don't make it my business to understand technology before it gets to the point of early samples available... The reason is that there is just too much new technological development that never goes anywhere out there. I think magnetic memories would be great, personally, but I don't know anything about them. One of the things I've noticed about the electronics industry is that at the beginning, many different materials were used to build computers. But silicon has taken over almost everything, and CMOS gets the majority of that. Time was when engineers stored data using sound waves propagated in mercury tubes, for instance. I see no reason why the future can't hold memory technologies that would seem just as strange as mercury delay lines to us now. -- Carl
