Will, You stated earlier... "...solid state will replace moving parts only where size, weight, or power consumption, and perhaps speed justifies the higher cost." You are defining the current state of affairs in mobile computing, telecommunications and digital photography in this statement. I don't think anybody on the thread really cares in the near term whether or not we will replace rotating media altogether. For some unique situations a solid state drive could potentially rival a CD or a hard drive, but that is not where the market is right now. At the risk of seeming offensive I think it would be useful for you to read some earlier posts, peruse Rex and Jerome's detailed analysis from a year ago (which he has kindly reposted via the link), or read through a copy of the latest annual report. I am not sure we are currently reading from the same page, perhaps not even the same book. Ausdauer
