A CD contains 650 MB. Point taken though heck of a long download. Various DVD formats are in the multiples of gigabytes and entertainment media is clearly on a migration to this "increased bandwidth". Agree more than enough demand in the current 2 - 100 Mb applications of 100-g hard read write memory. Am I getting to old but are there any one else that can remember an OS that ran in less than 32 K? jjb

>A CD contians about 750 MegaB as far as I can remember. I think >SNDK are planning in the immediate future an 84Mgbt Flash Memory >card and with more to come. CDs contain about 650 MB, I think. Anyways, CF does not have to achieve that capacity to become viable for the music industry. Improved file formats increase the amount of music we can store in limited space. Wasn't there a post before that said they can put 10 songs in a 10MB CF (not sure about numbers)? A friend of mine stored more than a hundred songs in a CD without any loss of quality. I think he was using MPEG-2. I'm not sure about this because MPEG is supposed to be a movie file format. I'll ask him about it.
