Aus, Getting a CF drive on OEM PC's would be a big step for SanDisk. And, if digital cameras and MP3 players are VERY hot this Christmas, it's not out of the question. I think Profit and I were talking Bluetooth. The essence of the benefit of CF is getting digital information from it's creative source back and forth to/from it's functional appliance. If you can do that in a wireless method, it's easier than with a physical method (CF cards). The problem with Bluetooth, as I see it, is that you would need lots of memory in the functional and/or creative appliance to store information while you are away from the other appliance. This may be solved in time with economies of scale. The threat is years away, but it may be real. Hard to tell at this point, because Bluetooth is not a real product, it's just a great idea, that nobody has made functional. If/when that happens, I'll worry. John
