Spinning rust, the technology that just will not die. It's interesting... people keep on predicting the replacement of spinning rust disks with solid state. But like the promise of commercially viable fusion power, it's always coming next year (or next 20 years or whatever). Just as solid state memory keeps on getting cheaper, so it seems that new ways are continuously found to keep spinning rust cost effective for bulk storage.

:thumbsup: And new coatings for the spinning discs, and new ways to read them... You're right - that may never end.

Pretty soon the news will be 'Quantum Disks!' Salesmen will be tripping all over themselves! :laugh: (Not to mention all the physicists tripping over themselves for the grant money! :rolleyes: )
