Hello Wolff, I'm hoping that you are having a wonderful trading day ... although the market is down, I'm having a great time with buying opportunities. I noticed that you are back to posting your repetitive posts ... you already posted this one. I'm not sure, but are you aware of this? If you like, we could try to develop a system so provide you support in tracking what you have posted so that you don't appear foolish to the people reading this thread. I would be glad to provide you with some support ... you could e-mail the post to me for review, and then I could tell you if you have posted it before or not. As for the content, I'll again try to see if I can help to educate you about the differences in technology. It is still obvious that my last explanation just didn't "hit home" ... > Sony Links Portable Technology Products (who needs a Core > with these gems. Plug them into anything, and they are > non volitale, and small. This is the new standard. There are numerous problems with these memory devices, in your comparison to the Xybernaut "core". It is more likely that the "core" would be a "consumer" of these ... not an alternative to these devices. The Memory Stick is simply a memory "chip" ... that's all. It requires a complete computer to be useful. (Or a similar device which contains a full CPU and programming) Some of the known issues with these devices is that there is a limited "standardize file system" for them. This means that interoperability between devices using them can be very limited. For example, I might not be able to move the memory stick from my camera, and put it into any other device that supports them, and have the data recognized. But they are cool for the limited purposes that they have. The "core" is an entire computer ... it has the CPU, memory, hard drive, and full peripheral support of a full blown PC. It is capable (as you and I agree) of much more powerful support for any operating system to be run. Also, I hope that you realize that the Memory Stick is nothing new ... I've been using them with my Sony products for years. They are finally starting to create them in usable memory densities ... Hopefully this has cleared up your obvious misconceptions in these two, very different technologies! (I understand ... this whole market is very difficult for some people to comprehend ...;-) Scott C. Lemon
