Just one comment to all, First off, nobody has to agree with my perception of the future and technology! I have never dismissed CF technology for the many varied uses. However, market applications and longevity don't have to parallel what I or someone else sees as the best technology. I have missed the mark many times believing what I thought was the best and would win. You all know the many great products which are better than those that beat them out in the marketplace (ex. beta). Frankly, if Sony can make CD walkmans which spin much large platters, I don't see microdrive a problem in the same type of enclosure. Also, while many people have bought digital cameras, there is not one, and this is just my own opinion, that I would buy to replace forever my analog camera. At 4+ megapixels, and they do exist but cost $$$, I would be interested. All I'm trying to say is CF is no longer a given winner as I believed more than 5 years ago when I started to follow it. Nothing I believe or say will ever change the direction the price this stock will take in the future but I believe it's not a slam dunk to Fort Knox for Sandisk. Time will tell. I still follow Sandisk but will be in and out as I see fit. Too many uncertainties for me right now to lock in long. Good luck to all. PS. The whole point of making my honest comments was to make some of the readers aware of some of the risks they may not have seen if they are too entranced by this stock. I wish somebody had done this service to me when I got burned in other stocks.
