re: ReidRong and KP <What makes you think that they are two?> Sorry. Just a figure of speech. And speaking of figures, I have uncovered the minimum Clik! specifications which world-class storage expert Mr. ReidRong deems acceptable. Any shortcoming will instantly doom Clik! to the dustbin since the competition already has much better products in their dreams. Once you know what benchmarks he uses, you can begin to understand why he thinks the way he does - about Clik!, I mean. Mr. ReidRong's Minimum Clik! Specifications Drive Size - 1cm x 1cm x 1mm Disk Size - smaller than the little blue pills RR takes QID. Cost of drive - $10 Net Profit per drive - $500 (anything less is a total joke) Cost of media - free Net Profit on media - $50 Data Capacity - 1 million giga-quads/disk (1030 bytes) Data Transfer Rate (read and write) - 1000 giga-quads/femtosecond Power Consumption - must not only not consume power, but must actually supply 10 kilowatts for 100 hours, in any combination of AC/DC, voltage and current, not to mention supporting every known type of plug. MTBF 1036 Years Shock/Temperature/Pressure - 0 degrees Kelvin in a vacuum to the conditions present at the first attosecond of the big bang. Even with all this going for it, I'm afraid Mr. Reid-Rong would still pan the Clik! because, being merely a rudimentary storage device, it is incapable of changing his diapers.
