Aus and thread - Slightly OT I just came across information about storing data on a transparent cd-size disk. Demonstrations are scheduled for Nov 1999. The specs look pretty good! c-3d.net Excerpts: "150 gigabytes of data on one disk" "....data retrieval rate to exceed 1 gigabyte per second." "The cost per gigabyte of C3D memory will be at least one order of magnitude less than the corresponding most optimistically projected cost of magnetic and magneto-optical memory by 2001." "Information is stored and retrieved using fluorescence of the media instead of reflection. Coherent and incoherent light is emitted once the fluorescence is stimulated by laser light, but data is stored only in the incoherent light." ------------------------------------------------------------ Oct 4, 1999 Press Release: c-3d.net NHP
