Some weeks ago, the Seattle Times carried a front-page story on a storage system which used a removable card (about the size and shape of a playing card, only fairly thick) as media, and had a storage capacity of about a gigabyte. The story went on to say that each card would cost around $20, and then went on with some drivel about this person's opinion, that person's opinion, and the inventor's opinion. I've been eagerly watching comp.arch.storage for further discussion and information about this thing, but there's been nary a peep. The Seattle Times hasn't mentioned it since, either. Did anyone outside the Seattle area see such an article? Does this thing *really* exist? Anyone have any idea when it's coming out, and how much the subsystem is going to cost? Is it a myth? Hoax? Or can I pick one up next year for a PC? Anybody? ---Ken McGlothlen mcglk@cpac.washington.edu mcglk@cpac.bitnet
